Maybe he`s selling that one soon...

On the other hand:I'm sure fatdog could make these stickers as well

oldskool69 - 2008-06-03 04:16

That would be nice if it IS the original. You noted Fatdog making clings. Hmmmm....Is it live? Or is it Memorex? Wink

I'm having a ConManBill flashback when I see the Conion, the IROC-Z parts in his selling history.....


I know this person has perfect feedback, but be careful. I'm pretty sure that this is the exact location in Indiana where we last saw an auction from CMB.

smokinendo - 2008-06-03 07:22

THAT IS CRAZY ! I asked him if it was for sale and what he would be looking to get for it

We'll see what his reply is and if he brings up Breakin

Cool spot TPR

Damnnnnnn!!! a true boombox icon, wonder what that box would bring in an auction. I'm betting it would be a large number.

smokinendo - 2008-06-03 07:50

Cool guy Smile

Here's his reply

Dear smokin_endo,

hi, the Breakin radio isnt for sale in this auction. We are not sure we want to part with it because we show it in parades & other events and we love the attention it brings. Its amazing how many people know exactly what radio it is when they say "OMG thats the radio from Breakin".....never the less, I suppose everything has its price. Thanks

Maybe we will see it for ale soon ? Who knows but it was soooooo cool just to see it again and know it's not in some trash heap some where rotting away

It's not the same one.

Look really closely at the "Break" lettering, theres numerous differences in how the the letters have been drawn. The design on the other speaker looks too centred as well, it's definitely not in the centre of the grill on the original. I'd imagine a lot more inconsistencies would become apparent with better photos of both of them as well.

It's a good custom job though, but not perfect.. I'm especially tedious about things like that. I've been thinking of making up some custom designs and a "Breakin'" sticker set would come up really nice.

Perhaps myself and Fatdog should discuss this further?

smokinendo - 2008-06-03 09:30

WOW ! Right you are !

Look at how thin the underline on the word Break is on the original as opposed to the copy No No

blaster - 2008-06-03 13:04

well looks as if someone tried making a close to it replica of it...

71spud - 2008-06-03 13:15
