Looking for some help identifying boombox

paulsb - 2008-10-08 10:50

I know I may be repeating this message, I apologize. If anyone can identify a boombox thta appears in the Clash video "Should I Stay or Should I go," it has a single casette in the upper left corner, it looks to have three woofers underneath, the center one looks as if it may be a passive radiator. The speakers seem to be covered in cloth versus metal. The second question is if anyone has had success with a SHarp GF 9191x, and if they have decent sound and any longevity. I bought one and it crapped out early. Sorry again for the repeat. Still learning how to use stereo2go.

Looks like it's a Aiwa CS 880 , reading your description.
The GF 9191 has a very decent sound IMHO.
I like this box very much.100% Classic looks

In your other thread you mentioned a blue colorsheme at the speakers.

so yeah it has to be a Aiwa CS-880 as Eddy statet.

A quick pic of my old one:



( surrounds rotten and passive not original )

The blue part benath the grill is metal/plastic just FYI.

if you take the sites search-engine youÄll find plenty of better pics and detailed info on it.

To you Sharp GF 9191:

I have to agree with eddy again..A great looking machine which sounds quite good!
If you can repair it or get another one go for it I'd say Wink
