radio.raheem - 2013-11-02 07:12

radio.raheem - 2013-11-02 07:43
Here is the boombox in question
samovar - 2013-11-02 07:54
what a gorgeous box, congratulations! Goldstar is probably an underrated company, if it produced such beautiful units as yours and the one that Northerner got a couple of weeks ago

as for the Crown 970, what happened to yours? did you trade/sell it?
radio.raheem - 2013-11-02 08:14
cheerz retro my friend ......i hope it sounds better than the 2020 lad.. opinions of those arn't to good lol but 8"" woofers that's a huge relief as 6"" inch woofer boxes just don't cut it for me bro....hope you're keeping well and all is good with you
driptip - 2013-11-02 08:16
hey tim, a while back i saw one at the flea market, its a really big unit, the sound is not bad but not as an m90 , (never had a crown) it was in rough shape so i left it there.

I sold mine unfortunately sal as she had a nasty accident and was beyond my repair...if that hadn't happened i would have NEVER parted with her son...checking out si's thread now
mitchelljames - 2013-11-02 08:40
Looks nice RR, ive always fancied one of these.
They dont come up often i the UK, did you get yours from Germany?
redbenjoe - 2013-11-02 09:36
retros memory is accurate --these sound similar but better than a 20/20 -- but
not as great as a 970
northerner - 2013-11-02 10:03
radio.raheem - 2013-11-02 11:30
Thanks guys she is coming from Germany lads....i have one trick up my sleeve guys if the bass isn't up to my par i have some crown speakers to install but im looking forward to her....si why not try installing some m70 speakers in yours lad....im sure that would improve things no end
docs - 2013-11-02 13:23
I had one of these too, it was ok for sound, not brilliant but pretty nice. Enough bass but lacked a little clarity. I would say it was very similar to a 20/20 with perhaps the 20/20 pipping it. The Goldstar is quite light and lacks a little bit of quality on the feel but overall I really liked it and would take a better example of the one I had any day. GZ on your purchase.

radio.raheem - 2013-11-02 13:43
Thanks my friend...im not even sure how i ended up getting her cuz last night i was all geared up for buying you're sony then i started browsing the forum and found some info on her...then ended up trolling ebay untill i found her in germany
radio.raheem - 2013-11-03 04:17
Well i have found my crown speakers and there Exactly the same as the 970 0nes... so this should turn out a monster
deech - 2013-11-03 08:59
RR needless to say that we wont see any pics eh??
This Goldstar is a monster btw and congrats on getting one
radio.raheem - 2013-11-03 12:19
Yea no more pics from me deech unless i can get my ex to replace my camera which she broke....anyway i have nothing of interest to take any picks of.....
im glad you recommend the golstar lad cuz up till now people seem to think it's like the rising 2020 which i know doesn't sound upto much so im hoping for the best lad

seb968 - 2013-11-04 06:28
That looks pretty classy mate!
radio.raheem - 2013-11-04 09:04
cheerz si...i all,most told the seller to relst her last night lad but she is paid for now
you know what im like si i must be the only guy on any forum that dosen't rate the m70
£240 is a lot to spend if she is just going to end up in a pile with most of my others
i wish i didn't like sodding deep warm bass but i do
cheerz seb lets hope she is as good as she looks

I know im actually finding this quite amuzing but there is always the chance my 20 20 was faulty....im hoping my crown 970 drivers will fit that should improve things big time....but from what a member has said it dosen't look like they will
one thing is for sure though she looks much nicer than the 2020 imho
seb968 - 2013-11-05 05:02
She may be OK as she is!
radio.raheem - 2013-11-05 05:09
yea maybe son,,,,but the 970 drivers are special....there only made of paper but they are deeper better built than the m90 drivers by far...god knows how an m90 sounds as good as it does though
seb968 - 2013-11-05 05:29
Don't suppose there is room in an M-90 to try them?
radio.raheem - 2013-11-06 16:01
yea plenty room seb but the whole unit needs strpping down.....
im realy looking forward to this unit now guys....who cares what she sounds like(sometimes i place far to much emphersis....on sound quality)) im definately guilty of that
seb968 - 2013-11-07 01:48

Ah, so you could mod an M90 in this way. That could be very interesting!
Good luck with the Goldstar; I think it looks great! . If the sound is not too your liking I'm sure you will sort it one way or another!
radio.raheem - 2013-11-07 02:02
Thanks my man...yea upgreaded quite a few myself mate....the hardest is the first
but i have stripped one down and rebuilt after a large bottle of whisky...back in my drinking days lol...its quite easy mate

Yeah, I've tackled things like that when I've come back from the pub; a bit too well oiled! Dutch courage they call it! The next morning I often used to think "Holy ****, did I realy take that expensive piece of kit appart? Still I fixed a lot of faults that way. Have become a bit too timmid to do that now!
radio.raheem - 2013-11-08 05:58
Well she is here lads......all hands on deck

Tuner needs fixing.....plastic plexi is missing off the door...right hand side vu is dead
but on the whole it's a nice box...much clearer that the 880 crown 970 etc.....the bass is quite good better than expeted lads and it's about as loud as the 970.....can't wait to try and put the 970 speakers in....ohh and the build quality seems better than the 970 too
id say worth getting lads
