The rarest box?

litfan - 2013-07-28 04:22

I have been after one of these since 1995. I have never seen one, only a pic. It`s the 3-head superscope crs5000. I know, a few members have got the 4803, which is rare, but this, is in another league. Get looking.

But it's styled by the same person who designed the Austin Princess.

 

I agree, this would be a tremendous find.

Bit harsh Cris. I know what I'd rather been seen with . A 3 head machine? (I assume this is a proper 3 head set up for off tape monitoring.) If so, never seen that on any BBX before...

Is it yours Lit?

Very interesting,  never knew this model exsisted. Would it be possible to post photos of the actual tape heads?

litfan - 2013-07-28 05:53

I`d love to see them myself retro. Unfortuately, there is very little info on it. I love the perspex top panel. I`m sure, you`ll be able to dig something up on it?

There is one for sale, on a russian site. Not sure, if it`s a current auction though. He is asking 9,999 rubles, which is £198 (UK).

deech - 2013-07-28 06:06

Lit can you send the link if you want please???

litfan - 2013-07-28 06:11

That`s why, i left it alone. Russia, can`t be too careful. No disrepect. You`ll never find one of these.

Nearly as rare as my Fd-80 lad...thanks for the pic...least i know what one looks like...3 heads now that's impressive lad

Want one.
This range are built like tanks and sound fantastic.

Is a Superscope a good sounding box normally? I've got a 3504 and it's my baddest sounding box by far. Don't know if anything wrong with it, but it al seems normal. It's extremely flat especially using the tape deck. No bass or highs, just flat 

litfan - 2013-07-28 12:15

The 3504, was more a marantz project. Boxes, like the 4000 range, were souped up by superscope.

That 3-head superscope crs5000 is A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!

 

Here's a closer look ....
