so many members , including me , have praised the sound, looks and build quality of this model --

yet - a dozen or so have come up on ebay very recently - all at good prices - and we never see any members buying them -
or even putting up a low bid --

so...any guesses about this mystery ?

That's a shame!

Buy this box - you never would be disappointed. It's the best sounding box that was ever build!

Best wishes

agreed.

do not have to say more about this piece of history.

the telefunken distorts easy and isnt the best boombox in my opinion altho i will be buying 1 or 2 more with a handle included lol when i have the coin

I would love to have one!BTW-Does it run on batteries or is it actually a shelf system?

runs on 8 d's im using mine now just put vanilla ice on damn i can never make my mind up about this thing turn down the bass a little and it fu@@king rocks you have to get one jovie it kicks something like the panna platinum series into tuch, maybe it is the best boombox in the world sh1t you should hear this bass

not really my cup of tea , hence me not buying one.

I have watched a few of both the model 1's with the FM band only going up to 104 and the 1M's. I didn't want the model 1 because of the shortened FM band and the 1M's all had some issues and or missing parts so I passed on them. I would like to find one but I've bought enough problems recently and I would like to find a complete and functional 1M with nothing more than minor wear and tear. I know it may take a long time or maybe I'll never find one but I have to many projects as it is.

its ugly. nothing can ever change that. its just damn ugly.

I would like to own a minty one.
the one that has been relisted a few times
looks kinda rough.
The trim is the key!!! if its good im buying.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that. However, I'll admit that lookin' at that box doesn't inspire excitement. It's a very boring lookin' box.

Repair is one answer, the shortened FM band is the other. hifitom and I did a swap and that's how I got mine, but I can't tell you how it sounds yet. I wanted one because of it's uniqueness. And for what I heard it sounded like. I actually thought the silver face looked better at first. The one I have has the brushed metal brown face and it looks good! I think photos make it look plastic like and that's why some my think it's blah. And where else will you find a tuner that goes to 104mHz only?

What's the speaker size on these? The woofers look rather small to crank out the amount of bass people state. I'd prefer a Silver (brushed Aluminum) one. They look VERY quality. Never heard one before.

Yeah, repairing is a nightmare!!!!! You CANNOT get inside to fix it, it is worse than a maze!!!!

If you have one, it will sound just GREAT... but you DO NOT WANT IT TO BREAK DOWN!!!!!!!! Unfix-able!
