Hi everyone

My name is Sebastien, I live in France, and 9 months ago, I started my own little boombox collection ... (along with vintage sneakers too )
I remember I had a boombox in 1991 (I was 14 then), and after investigating, I found it was a Sharp GF-9292. As I was mainly into hiphop at that time, I had sprayed and tagged it to death, and the paint particles didn't do much good to it hehe ...
I don't remember how I got rid of it, but maybe if I knew I would fall again in love with them boxes, I would certainly have paid a bit more attention and care to the GF-9292.
Anyway, I acquired these so far :

• GE 3-5259 A
• National RX-7000
• Lasonic TRC-931
• Sanyo MR-X20
• Victor RC-550
• JVC RC-M70
• Conion C-100F
• Philips D-8444
• Intersound J-747S

I'm still waiting for the Conion, the Philips and the Intersound to arrive home, as they are fairly recent purchases. But I can't wait !
(I'll try to present my little family in pictures when I receive the newer babies).
Ok, that's all for the presentation. I will end by saying that I read this forum's threads every now and then, that I like the friendly atmosphere, and found many times useful articles by real dedicated people ...

Many thanks

Hi and welcome to stereo2go !

Welcome probe1.

This forum will be your guide towards all your questions in the world of boomboxes.

Congrats on your collection.

Welcome! And looks like you have some sweetheart boxes!

cool.

Welcome aboard Sebastien! Very cool collection u got going!

Welcome aboard Sabastien! You're off to a great start collecting, that's for sure.

You got any old pictures of your tagged up GF-9292? I'd love to see em if you do.



Rock On.

Hi Sebastien!

Nice collection!
Welcome!

Sebastien, that's a great collection. That's not where most collectors start, that's where most collectors end up.

Thanks to all for the welcome, feels nice !
I know some of you have some serious collections, and I have much respect for these.
It's great to join

@ Gluecifer : I can't remember having any picture of that old GF-9292, but I'll have a look, it would be funny indeed ...

Sure thing, as soon as I get my highly expected new finds, I'll post a collection set of pictures in the apropriate section.

Cheers guys !

......& welcome to s2g.
With a collection like that, you're going to fit right in around here

welcome probe1, nice colection, enjoy the site

Welcome. Old sneakers can be as addictive as boomboxes, as i have found out. My faves are the adidas "rom" model, which still crop up on ebay.de.

Welcome to the familia Probe1 You'll fit in fine here. We're awaiting your pics now

Cool another guy my age who seems to have the same taste in boxes Welcome ! Can't wait to see your stuff but more importantly I can't wait till you receive your Conion in the post and get to hear it's massive sound ! Your going to be blown away ! I agree that your collection is that of a seasoned collector Nice list

welcome to the madness

Until then, hello to all and take care of your addictions

Welcome 2 the best BoomBox forum in the world .

Hello! Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!

It is good to see more french collectors!

I used to live in France (that is were I am from) and was the only French person on this sight for a while (I was a little frustrated thinking that there were not many French interedted in Bboxes!!!)

Now there are a few French here on ST2G!

So, BIEN VENUE !!!!!!!

We should organize a french boombox meeting one day, kind of half way between everyone's city hehehe ... I'm from Marseille, anyone up for it then ?
Apart from that, a quick update on recent finds :

• Toshiba RT-200S
• Intersound J-747S (second one)
• Sanyo MR-X20 (second one)

I'm waiting for the new RX-7200 and Big Ben, so I'm in this sensitive phase of waiting, praying that the boxes will arrive safely and intact ...
Sorry still no pictures, but with the sunny days coming again, it's just a matter of days hehehe !
