Ooh is andyboombox-itis catching?! LOL

Not sure what a fair swap would be?...would have to something equally rare and beautiful

I take it, RR`s mothers old vibrator, wouldn`t be a good swap then?

redbenjoe - 2012-12-04 13:38

nothing comes too mind -

you have a very rare and beautiful box -

in great shape -

 

like prolly the common jvc m70 sounds alot better ?

but even that is not a fair swap

Problem is lav. You`ll swap it, then, a short while after, you`ll think, i wished i wouldn`t have swapped it. Happens all the time.

i know mate that's very true, done it too many times to know

litfan - 2012-12-04 14:25

Name us a few lav.

lav.loo - 2012-12-04 14:32

mx920, 777, sk909L, trc 931, blockbuster, panny 5500, they all went to fellow members and good homes ect but i miss what i once had.

there's a lot more but the ones mentioned above spring to mind Rich

litfan - 2012-12-04 15:12

What did you get in return though lav? Especially, for the 909?

lav.loo - 2012-12-04 15:18

tbh i can't remember some of them as iv'e done tons of sales and swaps over the years.

i swapped the 5500 with Driptip for he's blockbuster which i then swapped with Retro addict for he's trk 8600 and so on and so on....

the mx920 which was a gift off andyboombox from Reno's went to Davebush for he's trc931, then the 931 went to Docs as a sale i think, are you lost yet lol cos i am

i honestly can't remember where the 909 went

litfan - 2012-12-04 15:20

Errr yeah. I won`t show this post to my therapist.

the 909 and 5500 both sound amazing and are built like tanks, especially the 909

radio.raheem - 2012-12-04 15:43

Not liking Dual cassette's in anything, as it tends to cheapen the rest of the box as there was emphasis on having the extra deck - Only good for dubbing, and then?

 

Single well cassette boombox's or walkman's preferred

Clear your ears out lad lol free one in the shed if you want it collect only...great highs that can't be denied but the bass is hollow and crap...ie no warmth....you were offered one remember and diddn't like it lol

you are bang on about the bass, the 8614 defo has more, but like you say the highs are great.

i think it was a choice between one of your 909s or the mx920, only a mad man would of chose the 909 over the 920

agree 100% lad

lav.loo - 2012-12-04 16:05

friggin loved that 920, wonder if Dave still has it, defo my biggest regret getting rid

radio.raheem - 2012-12-04 16:13

Man i have 3k's worth of amp here....i can't be bothered to set it up.....had to strip the preamp down (faulty selector switch) wich is done...i just can't be bothered to set it up...whats wrong with me????...love looking at it tho....2 large ic's inside. impressive...but the pre amp is built like TOTAL shit....mind you it's only a pre amp...they could have put the whole thing on one chip if they had wanted

lav.loo - 2012-12-04 16:17

not really up on hi fi seperates tbh Reno, i do love the look of em though, the old silver type that is.

the vu's on your set up are awesome, friggin huge

radio.raheem - 2012-12-04 16:20

Thanks lad...there is a silver version and a gold one....thinking of buying both of them when coin permits...like 10 yrs lol

lav.loo - 2012-12-04 16:24

if you like em why not, it's only the same as wanting a box in gold and silver.

like you say though the price, i bet the gold ones are even more expensive than the silver.

you better start puttin your penny's away mate, failing that a nice lottery win eh

it must be 24 carat gold for that price lol, that's just madness for a cd player....money mad world we live in, makes me mad

lav.loo - 2012-12-04 16:44

cash is worthless these days mate, it goes nowhere fast, i have a feeling the corrupt governments of the world will find an alternative to cash in the near future.

a microchip inplant with a personal id code for buying and selling maybe, the ass holes will come up with some crap im sure
