Just got this M-90 and boy when I tell you it is GHETTO
I s**t you not.
I am almost afraid to open it up fearing there might be something living inside.
The only thing that works is the line in and im not quite sure what to do with it. It pumps up pretty good and has a nice sound to it but thats about it.
What do you guys think???? Right now it is basically an I-pod amp.

i say -- send that POS back to the stiff that sent it to you !!

------(or restore it )

Im thinking Monster Garage time!!!!

Hey Frank, the matching paint for the M90 is Holt's Dupli-Color, color code DSH84. It's called "Tungsten Pearl Metallic".

Thanks bro not sure what direction to go but Ill keep that in mind .

Man, that thing looks like it's been deep in the trenches!

Why b***ch about it? So it's ghetto! You'll still get $8000 for it on ePay! Heck, someones gonna get $300 for a Conion C100-F cassette door! Better yet sell it to Vladi or Ira they'll give you $80,000!

(Or restore it. You did an awsome job with the Conion. The shell is intact at least. Are those Sharp GF speakers in there?!?)

Yes go for it man! I know that you can do it 100% certain.

have a grafics art shop hook u up with the silk screen letter's for the front control panel and paint it up.

Why the line-in works ?

Love the antenna finish ... glamour touch, but I would prefer orange.

my conion is ghetto like that

The line-in works because the power supply, amplifier section, and speakers all work. The radio doesn't work because the tuner section doesn't, and the cassette part doesn't because, well, the cassette deck (either mechanically, electrically or electronically) doesn't.

I'd recommend a REALLY good "Driptip" cleaning, a careful DeOxit cleaning of all controls, checking the electronics and replacing whatever is out of spec, PROBABLY a new paint job (depends on how much of that crud is just dirt, and how much is scratches/damage). After that, you'll have a box that will probably be worth a thousand bucks on ePay. Probably worth the work involved, especially since it will give you satisfaction on top of the cash-value increase.

Of course, if you find you really have to repaint it, you have a choice: match the original color as recommended above, or create a personal "statement" color like metallic Ferrari red, neon lime green, or anthracite with silver-chrome lightning-bolts or whatever floats your boat.

Terrible, that one's been seriously abused.

And who's put those awful woofers in it?!

I'd still take it on though. ...but I'd have to get some original speakers for it.

It could be cleaned up, but of course the many scratches would remain. It 'would do' until I found one in better condition.

Arkay, that was a joke, I was asking why this BBX has something that works !!!, it's incredible ...

Pedro.

Pedro, my answer was a joke, too. That is why I added the big smilie face at the end: "Dry wit", I think they call it.

Well it's a start!

with jimski there may still be hope for this box I believe with what jimski and Fatdog advised you she may still be saved. Think about it transamguy you recently saved a Conion why not M-90. Dude you'll be a hero on this one heck I'll send the paint if need be, this could be interesting.

I say RESTORE that M-90 bro'!!!!

My $80,000 reserved for Sanyo 920, so it's all Ira now

well seriously (for a change) -- prices seem stable or lower right now --and you will get a beautiful 920 for 800 when it comes up -- imho

I don't think I want to pay $800 for Sanyo - if there are M90s on ebay for $700 - everything else should be much less expensive than that - in my opinion

Restore restore when she is up an running she will be every bit as good as the conion wich you did a fantastic job on, chances are the deck issue is only belts and there an easy fit, looking forward to your updates.

Restore it!And if the speakers sounds good don't change them.
