I can remember from when I was a kid that having a Goldstar radio/msx computer/etc was very uncool.

Try it out! AudioSonic was also really uncool that time. Now I think it's awesome. Think Goldstar is the current LG... Hope someone can tell us more about it!

Lol I got my 60th bbx this week.. that's what's happens if you're single...

Yeah 60 is to many. Think I will settle with 40 good ones max. But it's nice to discover lots of boxes and let them go when bored. Its also a good opportunity to learn what kind of boxes I really like.
The M70 is also my favorite! I seem to like jvc a lot in general. At the moment I'm listening to the 838. A good night box and also a keeper
Glad I didn't put my sniper bot on the Goldstar haha. Think you will be really happy with it. The speakers look like its quit a powerfull box!

smeats1976 - 2013-10-04 16:50
damn near put a cheeky offer on a 838 2 weeks ago Si, £100 or nearest offer! would you be tempted at that price?
michiel - 2013-10-04 17:01
Got my 838 for 70 euros locally. To my surprise it was fully working, even the cassette belts were still okay. And it was near mint. Didn't even open the box.
They are not as powerfull as the M70 and it feels lighter. But this biphonic thing sounds really cool. Wish the M70 has this option!
smeats1976 - 2013-10-04 17:10
70 Euros for a good one is a good deal Michiel! I want one cos it's an early boombox and I don't have a 70s box yet. I'm seeing boxes I want all the time though!
michiel - 2013-10-04 17:28
for a proper 70s box I would recommend to get a Sanyo M9994K. That's a really great classic 70s box with very good sound. It also got no sliders, so less change there will be problems with it. It beats the 838 in everything
Just be aware that the K version is the one to get. It has a very effective loudness button. The normal version only has an useless mid-tone button.
Here is mine playing
smeats1976 - 2013-10-04 17:41
just looked at some Sanyo M9994K pics and i like it I was going to ask if anyone could recommend some 70s boxes but I think this or a Sharp gf 9191 or jvc 838 would be a good choice, just keep my eyes open for what comes first!
soundboy - 2013-10-04 19:29
funny, when I stop buying boom box's I buy rare collectable cassette tapes from half way around the world and yes i am single this type of thing would not be possible any other way... ha ha ha
besides my parents decided to spend my inhairitance and i decided they wont get grandchildren it a win win lol

I d go for the 838 first !! Not that i dont like the 9994 but never owned one !!
michiel - 2013-10-05 02:15
I would trade my 838 for a second M9994 without any hesitation

I never owned a big Goldstar Simon !
The only goldstar i have is the one pictured in this post !
http://REPLACEMENT ERROR/topic/two-70s-bboxes
Its sound is very warm and believe me it
can get really Loud !! Its 70s looks imo are not so nice
but it is the only box i have and has side speakers !!
If you d ask me about 2 Goldstars to have i d say first the TSR 580
and second the TSR 800
Now I m wicked enough to want to own boxes from defunkt
vintage electronics Companies . Goldstar is one of them (TODAY LG).
I m really charmed when i find boxes from defunkt korean companies
and the TSR 640 you got is a very nice example also and i would of bought
it without any hesitation too !!

Only 4 minutes. Don't know if it's downloadable. It's a rather rare tape, but you could rip it of yt. Or send me a pm with your mail so I can send it to you. It will be in m4a format and the same quality as the sound in the clip. So far from hifi lol.
Im going really off topic here, srry Si.
smeats1976 - 2013-10-05 03:19
Thanks for the offer Michiel, I was hoping it was a bit longer! I can download it of your clip. I have has a few disco/funk mixes off of soundcloud, some original, some retro
