Hey folks, I just received a very nice 20/20 in the mail today. Packed very secure and all the way for Ira's house. This box is impressive sounding and very attractive looking too. I'll post pics of course asap. Within 10 minutes, I was in my garage getting it all cleaned up to look it's best. Thank you Ira for a great radio and crazy fast shipping too. I can't wait to add that LED tuning dial light. I fell in love with Rambo's pic and want to follow his lead.
Congratulations Adam! I know you've wanted this for some time
Ira is a great guy and does a great job of getting boxes to you as good as can be!
Great job, both of you!
thanks guys --
hey adam --i sure dont want to poop on rambos beautiful lights -- but while he is away surfing someplace --
let me sneak this in :
my guess is that your 20-20 could look even cooler with the blue leds that NED uses --here is the source

Heck Yeah! I'm gonna do the blue LED meters, with the White LED dial light
Oh, and thanks Paul, I'll get with you next

Congrats and very cool Adam
. Did Ira manage to hide all of the really bad defects?
I'm expecting a Rising 20/20 any day as well. I already have the Clairtone version and I love it, great sound, feel and looks. Keep us posted on your mods when your finished, I might want to do the same thing to one of mine.
gee - thanks MB
i always include a 1/3 roll of DUCK tape to fix the defects
Oh MY GOODNESS ! I'm never going to get my Rising back together
Now I need belts and LED's and the sun hasn't been out for the last four days
Dude that thing looks MINT ! I can't wait to get my package VIA: IRAMAIL
Then I'll have something to play with that's actually together
Adam how does it sound ? I got to hear mine for like five minutes, I know your excited about it just from our PM's
hey endo --
WHAT package ???
The one that my husband just left for FL to get and it's Mrs. Endo to you

that otherwise good seller -
has MOVED

Adam how does it sound ?
Good deep bass with the "loudness" button on. tweeters are crisp. Stereo/stereo wide too. I remembered KidSensation stating how to easily fix any misaligned cassette keys by removing the keys and straightening them with some needle-nosed pliers. Worked! Haven't tried the cassette yet but, it had a quality sound and feel to it. Heck, I just leave it on just to admire the lights
That pic is from Rambos collection which I admired. Those white speakers encased by chrome & silver give it a classy look.
I'm so jealous... I want mine back together so bad that I remounted the speakers and LED board along with the metal rails just so I can stare at it LOL
THAFUZZ cant help you this month --
hes all freaked out with his 20-20 lights !!
[I want mine back together so bad that I remounted the speakers and LED board along with the metal rails just so I can stare at it] So is that like Perpetrating a fraud?
I thought it was prostitution ? I spent a bunch a money and now I'm about to get... well you know what happens next You just bought from this guy
Rising 20/20 are very good looking boomers and sound is very good I love the chrome bars that comes accross the speakers and beleave or not is a 3 way speaker system. Great job Ira and pics Adam Pics!
Great photo!!!
That's a cool pic, Adam! How difficult would it be to take some pics of your boomboxes next to your cruiser with all the police lights flashing?
I can do that this week. Afterall, we have a new holday coming up soon
"Take my BoomBox to work day" I have this for now (No lights though)
hey adam --hurry up and repair that chip off the foot --its bugging me now -- even 3000 miles away!!
for all the 2 years i had it at home -- it was on a lower shelf --so it was never noticeable --
nice pictures
Awesome pics and boombox Adam!!!!!!!

Nice Adam
Congrats on your new baby!!!!
I got mine all sanded down and pretty soon ready for painting.
Then I need to figure out how to get my cracked tuner dial lens out so i can replace it.
Then back together.
Dont feel bad endo you are not alone.
Mine is in a million pieces too
Is that all there is to the guts on these great sounding boxes? And here I was hesitant to crack it open for an attempted Drip cleaning. Thanks for the internal pics Frank. Thanks Skippy. This lil' box has grown on me. Classic and simple with great sound. Now I might have to bondo a fot onto her so Ira can look at it.
That's a lotta cone and not much magnet on the woofs. Wow!

Those pics remove the intimidation factor of cracking open the 20/20's. What a simple looking box but they sure do sound nice.
GREAT PICS ADAM ! Man TA I miss mine so much LOL
Yup they're hands down my favorite box to work on...every wire has a little quick release clip making it pretty difficult to get confused
Great pics
I really need mine back together !
