TELETON SCR 810

Hi peeps,

I got 2 Philips d8300 a couple days ago...a friend of mine painted one for me.

very nice and loud!

My last was a Panasonic rx5350. Great unit but i am selling since i now have 2 to try to get a big ben or rcm90!! Its on ebay now!Panasonic (National) RX-5350 Portable Stereo, Boombox Needs little work. Im taking offers from my stereo2go friends!!!

I treated myself to a little toshiba auto-reverse box. I had one, as a scrapper, and, was alway`s amazed how well made it was. This one is like new. Love it.

Do not like 3piecers at all, but  bought this Radiotehnika ML 6201 a month ago anyway. This is very heavy (10kg without batt.) and great sounding unit. Made in Latvia in 1986:

actually, it is a 5piecer:]

A russian clone, released only in 1990 under "Aelita" name:

Erm .

erm whut?

In Latvia... In 86... COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Radiotehnika is still manufacturing acoustic HiFi systems:

That is a really nice radio!!

Sorry, but IMHO, it`s crap. You must forgive my straight talking, i can`t help it.

Is that thing really brown?

Yes, it is, Agent.

Even i do not know- is it more ugly, or nice. I don't even know, where to keep it. Sometimes maybe other things are winning against clear mind - i just really like our neighbour Latvia. Also, i remember when i was a little kid, my classmate's parents bought such radio, - boy, how we were jelous..Me and other kids could just stare at such bbx even without playing music on it! These were difficult times:/. U could not just go and buy everything u wanted. I remember, how my mother was standing in a queue of about 100 people - a greengrocery have just received some bananas. At the same time i was standing in a queue for new ice cream. I took a last one, and left about 10 people behind me with nothing:]. Btw, this Radiotehnika in 1986 costed  675 rubels, when average salary was about 300. More pics:

You're wrong, in 1986 average salary was about 150 (...maybe 170) rbls per month.

LOL  you've got the taste, Litfan 

It`s brain damage metad. I tend to say what i think, damn the conseqences. I went to see the brain surgeon, last week. First thing i said to him was "get your bloody hair cut" Luckilly, he laughed it off. Some people take it very seriously, i have to try and be careful what i say. People that know me, are shocked at the transformation in me. If you like the radio man, that`s all that matters.

Cheers bro. Radios forever .

i kinda like it man,looks funky..if it kicks butt i'de have any box man..even if i pass it on to someone else,i'de still have it..

hitachi trk 8080e in good nick for the price of a big mac meal

lasonic trc 935 i have been wanting this box for quite some time and was finally able to get one from a friend of mine.

i love the 935,its such a nice box,and dont ofter show up any where,those light up graphic sliders should be made compulsery to go on every box,and those white woofers are nice man..

i agree the light up eq sliders are the dopest feature lasonic has ever had on a box im looking into whether or not i can get leds in different colors that are th esame blade design i wouldnt mind being able to change these out to add different flavor maybe match my kit when i take the box for a walk. now i need a 951 haha good luck to me

Hey be carful.lad..you may end up with a Rep like mine...lol BUT i agree with metad...you always had good taiste...

JVC m80.

Picked up a JVC RC-717JW from an old friend as he was just gonna scrap it

The pics here, show the Radiotehnika to be a reasonably serious bit of kit. Aside from the colour (brown? really?) it looks like it might be a bit of a performer - look at the components in the amp section & the speaker magnets.

It reminds me of those Sanyo 3 pc boomers, C5, is it?

Last boomer I bought was the Sony CFD-5 in Feb 2010:

still looking for somewhere in the house to use it...

Your right there paul...i have the sanyo c9...great boomer, after my somewhat messy mod

Interesting... The only thing that does not seem to be "TOP" in this unit is the plastics/metal used. It seems (from the pics) like they used the lower class materials from the cheap quality crap, of latter part of the 80s, cassette radio players.

This thing:

Has a great radio section that will hold up to some of my best long-range radios.

It sounds good at a low volume too, but distorts quickly past about 3/10. Turn down the bass and it's alright, though.

Strangely they put a lot of effort into the radio, but not much into the tape deck. It has track find, but no crome or dolby switches. Very little wow and flutter, tough. It's stable and sounds alright, but I'm surprised that it's type 1 non-Dolby only.

I think I've found a new favorate.

GE.... Mid, late 80s?

Hmmm. Date code 6427, though I have no idea what that means. It's pre-Thompson and built on Hong Kong, anyway. Possibly one of the last. After they took over RCA and started manufacturing stuff in Malaysia the quality took a nosedive. They stared skimping on quality.

This one has the same six gang open air tuning capasitor (tuned radio frequency front-end) and long 8 inch AM antenna as the 7-2880 "Superadio". Those were in production from 1979 - 1986. The "Superadio II" (1987 - 1991) had a slightly diffrent capasitor.

Becouse of that my best educated guess would be 1985 or 86.

I would have to say, that would have been my guess as well... I has that mid 80s trim/look/finish already... Not as attractive as the predecessors in the same range.

I havent picked one up in a while....  I think the last one i picked up was a Sanyo 9998.   

Ge had a few good 3 piece units.  One i cant remember the model but it had yellow ish looking woofers.
