Just wondering,i know when we've had a box for a while we can get bored of looking at the same thing (bit like when you've been married to the saaame person for yeeears) but what box still does it for you ? what box of all boxes can you still look at every day and say "Yep,Thats my Box and i love it"

sharp 9494

RC-550  In Stereo

Gf1000 and im stoked with the bombeat 01 altho its not the best sounding box,,,it haz to be the rarest of the rare....but im just happy having a good few boxes around...nowt much else to live for...

 Most of the time I just use the one..and when Stereo is REALLY Needed then...  

wonder why Jvc never made a stereo version of the 550 ? strange

This will shock most of you,but the box i like the most is the GF8989,and obviously the GF9500 because besides the Hitachi TRK-W1E,the 9500 was my first propper box in 1983..

Only Reason why I do NOT like the Sharp GF-8989 is because of the Soft-Touch Cassette controls ( just something else to easily break ) Prefer direct "push" cassette functions!  More durable they are

My M70's...they are durable, have excellent sound, are great on batteries and I just love looking at those blue woofers.

James..beleve me my man,the GF8989 is a simple deck compared to the manual sharp decks e.g GF9090-91-92-94-95-96,GF555,GF525 Ect..the soft touch deck is way easier to repair,i've repaired many,the most p.i.t.a part of them old manual sharp decks is the tiny rubber tyre that goes on the capstan shaft and sits just behind the pinch roller,that usually melts to mush,and they are a pain to clean off,then theres the difficult task of replacing it,you cant buy the part,you have to make one yourself,and without that part,the deck is screwed,that little tyre drives the play,and when it wears out/melts,the lead reel stops turning,thus chews your tape,you dont get this little tyre on the later decks like on the GF8989/GF575/GF990 ect,just simple belts..change them,and its up and running like new again..

The toshiba rt-s931. It`s the only box i leave out all the time. That, or the aiwa tpr990. Never get tired of looking at that. So many memories, ah.

any sony fh..........there all amazing to hear and to look at

to me, conion, m90, but in particular the pana5350, and the 7700, i can just stare and stare , i never get tire of those 2, or the 3 amigos for that matter, nice topic by the way.

Oh, but they did Beanieman , I could only imagine what that sounds Like James. For me, it's the JVC RC-M90 and the GF-777, I admired them more for the design as a kid and could never stop staring at them.

Used to love stearing at the pioneer909...but the sound was another matter

nother box i miss is the sanyo920

I saw the m90 as a kid too retro back in 81 and was blown away by it..never saw it again till i joined here....only thing i don't like about it...is it's gray lol...but hey...k9 was gray in the early doctor who so that's not bad...im refuring to doctor who with tom baker...

OK You have my attention now !!! ?

Where Can I Get this model ???

or is this just a photoshopped picture?

haha nice one rich....that's the first time i have seen tom since the 70's

Damn...now james has seen my secret stash Retro...and he knows now..why i dont bother with the rc550 because i have this instead...before you ask james..it is not for sale...you promised not to show man

Well you can just " Will " it to me, Reno   then I'll have it

Tom Baker! Yes!! Many hours were spent in front of the TV with the Doctor! Thanks for that hilarious link!!!!

Back on subject....I'd have to say the JVC PC-550. It's flush mounted logic controls and illuminated LCD...you can't get tired of watching that

im sure you lnow im joking james..This is a beutiful rendition by Retro himself

Looking at this - Make's me Wonder what the Cross-over Frequency this would work with 10 inch woofer's and 2 inch tweeters and or how high the woofer's would reach to, or how low the tweeter's could go to, to have a proper ballance of sound?
