The  Conion is in 100% working order
Just need that dam cassette door ..

stynger007 - 2013-04-19 16:29

Be careful shipping overseas chupa, only go express post if you have to even though it will be $400 plus to get it there surface parcel can take up to 8 weeks .. many buyers blame the seller for long delays in shipping even though they chose the cheapest route.

chupa - 2013-04-19 17:04

Stynger007 thanks for looking out

superduper - 2013-04-19 17:05

I got something seamail one time and it took like 4 months.  I had already lost hope and was sure it was gone but it did turn up.  So I agree about not shipping something surface mail if possible since buyer could file PP claim before item gets there and then it will be houston, we have a problem.

 

On the other hand, chupa is in NYC and unless I'm mistaken, there is no surface shipping option for USA outbound shipments.

spaceboy - 2013-04-19 17:17

Sorry chupa just noticed this is the Conion still for sale?  could you send pics of your conion and how much your after, do you have a video of it in its current state.

 

pm me how much your after i'll send you my email address.

Item is gone now. I ended up getting the C100F from miguel1love. Just couldn't stand it anymore.  :-) Been waiting since 94 for one of these and figured I would never have one if I didn't grow some hair on my "you know what" and just take the plunge. Tired of waiting for the perfect deal to never come. Heck even if I can't keep it working Ill just display it and be proud. :-). As long as the alarm still works so I can knock someone in the head if they get too close...haha

 

I would like to add though that the price was cut in half since that link.

chupa - 2014-03-26 18:36

Transistorized Congrats on your find and now long time ended journey... Enjoy that C100F

Miguel1love is a great member...or used to be, i wouldn't worry coongrats on the conion

transistorized - 2014-03-27 11:35

Appreciate it. I see where the back looks Gold. I just thought it was from aging. You know how plastic will turn colors? I didn't know that they actually made them in Gold color. I also assumed this because the battery compartment is also a different color. More tan where the UV rays haven't really gotten to it. But hey....if it turning or being Gold makes it more rare then I say goodie... lol :-)

 

So does being Gold mean its more rare as the previous post states? If so I got lucky on that one I guess. Never really took that into consideration when I got it.

transistorized - 2014-04-01 15:15

The suspense is killing me. Still waiting. Haven't gotten my tracking number yet. Tomorrow is one week since payment. sigh....maybe it was shipped and he forgot to email tracking number. Won't bother him just yet. Ill wait until Thursday before I start getting concerned.

valachev - 2014-04-03 02:33

Why your package is taking so long?

I would contact them and contact ebay ( I assume this deal is through ebay)

 

transistorized - 2014-04-03 13:42

Yes. This was through eBay. I have read nothing but good posts on this site and boomboxery with this member. It has been a while though since he has visited either site though. He has replied to my emails so not too concerned. I think you have 45 days with eBay to open a dispute but I've never had to use this system (knock on wood).

radio.raheem - 2014-04-03 13:51

You're lucky it's not me sending it....would take at least a month haha...but i wouldn't worry the best part is waiting although i can understand you want it yesterday

transistorized - 2014-04-04 14:05

Yay!! Got videos of it working and tracking number! Now as long as the shipping goes well I will have a Fully Working Gold & Tan C100F. Didn't even know anything about them until I started doing some research.

 

Never thought the day would come. 10 yrs I've been waiting. Hope all goes well. Of course you know pics are coming when it gets here... :-) I'll start another post and not keep this one going.

 

samovar - 2014-04-04 14:33

congratulations on your new gem. keep us posted as we want to see the pics

jvc.floyd - 2014-04-04 15:26

awesome ! , even after owning 2 of these still shocks me how big these radio's are . just absurdly huge.

bigapplesnapple - 2014-04-05 08:00

I finally found one in Queens last year, i paid a lot but use it daily and still no issues. There is a gold Conion 100? Maybe it is just discolored? I want to see some pictures of this sounds interesting.

transistorized - 2014-04-05 13:06

From my understanding they made them. You can google search and choose image option for Gold Conion C-100F. They have a black Tuner dial (instead of Blue), the Box is Gold colored on the back with Gold highlights on the front paneling, tweeter grills and around the speakers and the sensor on/off button is Black bordered instead of Blue like the Silver ones.

 

From my understanding these are more rare than the silver however if you want to see the box I purchased you may skip back on this post and click on the eBay link  Traveler posted on miguel1love's ebay auction and you will be seeing the stereo I will be getting soon. Just after the description you will see a Blue Link that says "show original listing". If you click that you will be able to look at the various pictures posted

blaster - 2014-04-05 16:19

I have a feeling, or just a wild guess the Gold or champagne color Conion.....was the last of the bunch in the conion factory just when they halt production...before it became korean...because i never saw one in the stores back in the day....my guess this was around 1986-ish....or perhaps 1987....it be interesting to see a manufacturing date inside one..... 

transistorized - 2014-04-05 20:09

I agree with you because if you look at the Korean models with an original silver next to it the center panel overlays with the writing on them for the knobs and such look more Gold in color.

transistorized - 2014-04-07 19:03

Well Everyone wanted pics of the Gold Conion C-100F so here it goes. It started with me cleaning it up. Look at the Chrome as it was you'll be amazed of the transition. Looked like it was painted with grey primer paint. Just dull over the years and thought it was gone for good.

 

BeforeThis was the Chrome as it was and this was using a SOS pad. Looked like it was dead

 

So I got out my Motorcycle Metal Polish "thinking yeah right...on plastic? Good luck". Well.....it worked and brought it back to life again. See Below

 

ChromBelow is the Final Resting place.....Until i go out to wash my car..then it comes with me

 

BestHere is one more shot of the Chrome. I just cant believe the polish worked!!!

 

Chome2The End. Going to go annoy my wife some more with loud sounds :-) One thing I would like to add is that even though it is only a model C-100F is has the 120-240Volt selector switch. Thought only the FF models had that. Maybe it was something they changed on the Gold model. Not sure. Thanks for viewing

jt.techno - 2014-05-04 14:44

Congrats transistorized - it looks awesome - well done with chrome polish (bet that threw you a bit when it arrived) ... very jealous ... probably will never see one of these myself but here's hoping one day :-)

brutus442 - 2014-05-04 18:37

Motorcycle polish= brilliant! Restored to her former glory!

 

P.S. I love the 80's tribute bookshelf! I used to have the same Pac-Man game

blaster - 2014-05-04 20:11

I've been using mother's polish on my chrome parts....works wonders...

Haha. Yeah Man. Started my little 80's collection. I get out those Pac-Man games and play them every so often. Those VFD (Vacuum Florescent Display) have a neat image. I really enjoy powering up all my 80's gear. Each time I do I remember how exciting everything was as computers were just getting started and portable. I get that same excitement today especially when I fire up my Commodore64 computer. Computers and gadgets of today might be faster but they are overly complex and lack the fun factor. There is no more show and excitement anymore and the newness of computers and their progression has worn out their welcome as they evolved from being fun to invading our lives.
