So many years ago when i was a newbie, I asked on the forums for a good box under £100 to get me started after buying a couple of low end boxes, the voices suggested a Universum Supersound 1600. I purchased said box from Germany, non working tape deck, radio working fine. Well it came and needed more than a rebelt and i couldn't fix it. As i can't generally live without the deck working (with a couple of rare exceptions) i bunged it in the loft and thought no more of it. So recently i started to clear out the loft, sell off all the stuff i didnt need or want including tapes, boomboxes, old tech, computer bits etc and i started to sort my old boxes into ones i was parting, ones i was selling for spares and boxes i wanted to attempt repair on. The Universum fell into the latter camp. Well my skills have improved a lot and after an hour i had power to the deck, another hour i had the deck fully working and sounding spot on. Still don't have rewind and i cannot for the life of me figure it but every other function works and as i was out of time that had to do. Speakers repainted, tuner glass cleaned, minor clean and here she is:
Yeah surprising sound for a mid size box, really good bass and no listening fatigue, its very easy on the ears.
are those 8"" woofers??? looks a nice box to me just not keen on top controlls but that's just me you say ff don't work possibly an idler tire needs cleaning lad
