These guys even copied the the speaker decals.

It dosen't look to bad retro....mind you i can't  see it lasting more than 6 months just like any other stuff today

thanks god we know original from copy.

rip off maybe but more rare than a 777!

ive something ultra rare lee i'll trade it for your bombeat 40 mate....madonna turd in a jar lol and it even has built in flashing lights..to let you know when the turd gass has built up to high.lol

This looks like somebody described to them a 777 over the phone. It lacks elegance and the lines are all messed up. It lacks the flow of the original.

tempting offer reno but how fresh is it?

It is a horrid cheap looking rip off but maybe it's the beggining of a trend; manufacturers recreating classics from the past. If this sells maybe it will inspire other manufacturers to make better copies. Just imagine being able to buy an M-90 copy that was as good if not better than the original!

Yet another one.....smh.....the best are always imitated never duplicated...nice find though retro.

not as tempting as this one:

on May 23rd, 2007, a tin was sold at Sothesby's for 124,000 euros

has it got a turd in it?

I think "merda" is French for crap!

that's what I  was thinking Seb! must translate as "Artist's sh*te" I reckon

Yeah I've seen some strange things but a tin of sh*te!!.......

Dont know about merda but this is delicious !!

merenda !!

Hope it tastes better than it looks !!

mmmmmmmm! nutty!

Like squirrel sh*te!

Sure Seb !!

Its an AKA of those

Somehow they don't look as bad!  (nutella is nice, but I have to ignore what it looks like!! )

just as fresh as that girls you were chasing the other day....fek that was a classic comment you made on the blower lee i was in stitches...dont worry im not repeating it here lol

WtF have i started classic replies i think you can say good bye to mee....just flipping classic lolx4

This is now the turds are us club.... member must have a huge turd in there colletion to qualify

forget you'r m90s lads lol

 i think this one is even worse

haha! have to agree with you there bison! A real minger!

pass

The thing is though, if you guys didn't know the GF-777 existed then you'd be fighting each other off to buy up these monsters.

You have met my wife then haha

yes. the author, Piero Manzoni, was an Italian artist who at that time was exploring the relationship between human production -- with reference to art, industry and the body -- and the inevitable waste that is associated with it. This was a provocative work -- in a way prophetical if you think of the problems industrial societies are presently facing with waste -- which attacked both the sacrality of art and the craze of the market. Too bad that the market is able to digest everything, if also a work like this has become collectable and highly desirable! A cautionary tale for all of us collectors of yesterday's crap...

attack of the clones..steepletone

Went and read a bit about this, Very interesting samovar! I wonder if it was vacuum sealed to keep it as fresh today as the day he crimped it off in 1961 as you say samovar, people will buy any old shit!

One more !

^^ ive bought more than one box that can only be described as shit,

i might curl one off in the battery compartment...anyone got the number for sotherbys?

It was! Art is illusion, so if it's good art, the illusion must be good too. It was produced in 90 items, all of them vacuum sealed, so as to mimick industrial production. After all, we like nutella and merENda, don't we?

The very sad thing about the Sotheby's auction is that the item sold for such a prize also because the artist died very young while he was just developing an international reputation. Death is, so to speak, the added value to s*** as far as the market is concerned

more artist's m****

It's the same as Bison's. But in order to become artwork, s*** needs a name. Here we go: Soundlab SRD-990. Note however that Sotheby's would like best the MRD model

quite a few 777 clones out there! but do any of them sound ok? I was tempted to buy the steepletone one that bison posted, it was on ebay with a BIN of £80 wich I thought was a bit much to take a gamble on incase it was merde

after my last comment I have to agree with this AO

This Canary RCD-8 is a clone I would actually buy.

canary... great upload retro that will surely take some beating as the worst named boombox ever,i have to try and top that one

heres another gem..

slightly off-topic, but for two reasons. the first is that it looks like a baby-777 clone. the second is the name:

Pate Marconi MRK-365V: more hilarious than "Canary" and with the MR(K) code presently on ebay btw

terrible stereo samovar..but come on does it chirp like a canary

Looks more like a baby Sharp GF-525, 555 clone to me! (Only not as pretty!  
)

these two are interesting and i would definately scoop them up

more like the cry of the peacocks imho

TOYOTA

Didnt know toyota made electronics till i saw those

pics Bison !

Everyday i learn something new.

the Toyota blends the speakers of the VZ2000 with the frame of the VZ2500 very nice indeed! which brand is the second box?

both Samovar deech..not sure if its THE Toyota brand though...
