Sanyo BIGBEN MR-X20 Silver Edition
docs - 2013-01-15 12:40
Today a big parcel arrived from Hong Kong sent by Peppin. The packaging was brilliant and double boxed with a ton of bubblewrap and extra foam like protection. The box itself is stunning. Needs a little clean and some internal spraying of switches etc. but nothing major. This is a splendid example of a BIGBEN and it is the more rare silver version too! Just beautiful. Sound is as per usual from this box, excellent. Hope you enjoy the photo's.

congratulations docs, i was tempted by this one when it popped up on ebay but then i realized that it was out of reach for my pocket. in my opinion this beauty is even more beautiful than the "normal" edition --which already is more than awesome to say the least. enjoy it, and thanks for sharing!

what a box well done on bagging it dave a beut ! your collection just gets better and better

Congratsulations Docs !
One of the most beautiful boxes around imo!
Had my eyes on it too but as samovar me too i was out of reach!
This is the jap version and it needs a converter eh?
All writing is in japanese as i remember ! and the grill of the middle speaker
writes BIG BEN and not superwoofer ??

Agreed bbb. My previous Jap model had red trim to woofer too. I definitely think that Sanyo did a few revisions of this but as it is this one has hit the spot for me.

Just gorgeous
Fab photography too Dave.
Its threads like this that make me wish I could up my boombox budget

Docs, that is very impressive. Whoever you got that from is a true fan of electronics. The packaging was equally as impressive. The first thing I noticed was the metal grill. These the brightness of the silver finish. The japanese writing on it lets you know, "I'm not from around here". Top Notch.
