..like spittin' in the ocean for this one, but anyone want to sell or know where I can get a JVC carry strap kit for an M70? It also supposedly fits the M60 and M80 JVC's. Willing to pay kinda generously for one...the better the condition, even more. Thank You!
I'm assuming you wouldn't pay this much?
Plain daft

LOL!! Oh I am one of the bidders on that one agent! I lost it by 3 dollars of my highest prospective bid by 15 seconds, so I am still lickin' my wounds on that auction!! Needless to say I was no amused by the turnout!
I do wonder where these all ended up, they never used to be that rare. I got lucky and found three a few years back, swapped them with fellow board members and kept this one...

Umm......guess what? I got a "second chance offer" from the seller in email! Agent, you are my lucky charm!! Now, I have to wait and see if I get it for sure.
$125 for a boombox strap? Recession, what recession?
I've got a 100% unused Kaboom strap, still in the packaging & everything. Didn't realise it was my retirement fund...

When the funds are available and I hold down two jobs, its nice to splurge and treat yourself to some xtra toys every once n' awhile!
Good luck finding one and love your.

Thanks L.Lopez! I would just love to find someone at a flea market selling a whole box of these straps NIB and real cheap, not knowing there is a huge market for the JVC straps! You just never know.....
You can make your own. Many types of seatbelt buckles will fit into the slots on the JVC m70. I used buckles from a 1984 saab and grinded them down slightly, and they fit just fine. Then I connected a regular strap from a gym bag onto the buckles. Worked out great!

Yeah I heard that people have made them and also there was a thread along time ago here for dimensions of the buckles.
but then again there is nothing like the originals
