Hey up guys.....like the title says im quitting the game.....fed up with buying boxes that dont work....all im keeping are my 2 kabooms......another reason for selling up is that im gunna collect hifi instead.....much cheaper and much much better quality for your money....having just bought £1500 worth of technics for 50 quid....boomboxes are just not my scene anymore....

would like to add im not quitting here just selling up....thanks for reading take care

That is very sad. Coming as it is just as I get back into portables!

I can, however point you in the right direction on the subject of hifi kit though. There is some iconic kit out there that actually sounds pretty rubbish and some little known stuff that will make your eyes light up. Let me know if I can help.

I am new around here so don't know where you reside but have you got anything I might like? Maybe trade for a Nakamichi cassette deck??

Nick

good look buddy,im in same boat,well im just picking up the odd sanyo now and thats it-its been great knowing you tim....enjoy the hifi,there are lots of very,very nice things to collect in that field

come on Reno your as bad as Andy for quitting lol and look where he is now, right back here

Don't go!...not until me and Lav have emptied your shed at least, haven't got the van and crowbar organised yet!!

Sorry to hear that Reno, but good luck on your newfound Interests. It happens, I have recently had this compulsion to buy headphones and DAP players.

we better get a move on then Si before he sells up

You have no chance guys; I run a van rental firm!

sorry to hear your packing in the boomboxes reno.

if your collecting vintage separates they are still easy to find in the wild unlike bboxes.

Dibs on the Crown, PM me for postage and cost please.

dont listen to him......he`s just like andyboombox......they all end up back here.......

there like cow sh!t in the farmyard..................allways here......and cant get rid of it

Radio Raheem good luck finding separates!

I think the bug of collecting boxes doesnt get cured that easily though!

Your experience is valuable for this site.

im quitting boomboxes guys....not the forum......i have 4 interested parties in the crown 970.....the first to paypal me £750 plus postage gets it....as i would like to buy some new computer parts.....just remember this box is not mint but the deck fully works had a couple new caps and had a partial reaspray and new belts.....just remember this box is much rarer than the bombeat 40

good band the smiths they were massive back then

salford lads club been in there a few times think its still there to , yep the smiths gotta love them morrisey could be a prize tit at times .

^ agreed

Same here Retro, i caught the Headphone bug myself...lol...ive had so many hobbles through my lifetime i had to cut back or stop some...but dedicate to only a few...

£750 your having a laugh Reno

in my opinion their is'nt a box on the planet worth anywhere near that money, il'e trade ya a 3d30

Reno...it's too bad your jumping ship on boomboxes, but glad you're hanging around!

Just do us a favour...keep one box. You'll get bitten by the "box-bug" again

It's not all about the sound is it?  Hifi can't pull the chicks like boxes do! 

Scotty

ha ha agreed, i think a chick would be more impressed with big blingy box rather than some hifi gear

a few quid a boombox and a cheeky smile guaranteed to drop knickers

Throw in some Barry White and set the auto-reverse to on...and in no time you'll be craving a smoke

ha ha funny stuff guys love it

Again? 

Zzzzzzzzzzz

Ned?

Ned Ryerson?

...had to google ned ryerson to work out what the last couple of comments were about as I thought you'd both gone completely random!...ha ha very good

well 4 boxes gone today including my last dt707......gave em away can't be bothered with ebay........the hifi gear i have bought in the last few weeks, far oughtways any boombox

don't forget my bust box please mate...I need those parts please so don't give it away to someone else in your clear out!

I have promised it you si so don't worry my friend.......just wish sombody would come here and take the ones i don't want away....actually thought of a bonfire in the back garden and chucking them on there.....as the council now want stupid money to take junk away

hhhmmm on monday i am delivering a restored car to tiverton .

cheers mate!

where is that my friend?????? just fell over nearly broke my leg i have that much shit in here.....just been testing one of my new amps....it looks like the caps are failing....a technics with 3 sets of bass control and thats without the graphic....dam thing is savige.. god my leg hurts.......wouldnt have a problem but my place is the size of most peoples sheds....ask stereomad

I'm selling most of my boxes - and buying other gear

Just sold my jumbo  - gonna see what others I can put to the Yanks whilst I am here

Good luck nick.....thing is i dont have anybody to share the passion with anmore...so none of the boxes get used much outdoors wich they were intended for....waiting on a possible trade for my crown....gunna keep 10 boxes max the rest can go.....hifi gear is just much more entertaining and cheeper son....i have never agreed with the stupid prices boxes go for....the last straw was my technics ghetto...suposed to have the battery pack yea wright and the deck is usless so im dumping that too

just left a neg for the technics and dumped it on the street.....on such a downer £140 down the pan

Come on lad. What would rebus do? Can you leave negs on ebay?

you can if your the buyer rich......im nearly in tears.....actually i am......god know how you felt after that cream crackered wx1....i couldn't cope with that lad

I don`t have any feelings at all lad, happy, sad, none. I just thought "ah well", put it out of the way somewhere. I dread someone telling me, that someone has died, i crack out laughing, weird.

i used to do exactly the same for years bro.....i  normally have no feelings atall lad....had a girlfriend a few days back she is to tight to even phone me and i paid for a few taxi's for her.....well it's now over i can't be bothered with that shit......it takes extreme situations for me to feel anything atall lad....i have just had far to much pain in my life and kinda my brain has shut down as it can't cope.....lost 5 people alone just this year my friend

"Now mr raheem. Let`s start at the beginning".

wish yd let us phone you rich.....if that technics has gone im gunna dump the lot
