I remember a post about this place before, but it looks like the site and the store has been refreshed since then. I would just love to visit this store and demo some of the vintage elctronics on display. http://vintagemoscow.com/
oh man that place looks real nice. im already drowling. Does anyone know any place like this in Milan?
Stunning shop, I would love to spend a few hours in there listening and browsing. Everything looks in amazing condition to.
I have noticed on both this site and others that the Russians really like vintage audio gear. I guess that when it was new it was really difficult to get in the USSR. I remember the first sales of VCRs there being reported on the BBC news in a similar way to this. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/...viet-vcr-video-recorders-komsomolskaya-pravda
Im just lucky i have all the boxes id want from there or id be real gutted lol, that poor sony F40 in the right hand corner bottom pic wants to come home, thanks for posting Ret
Well if its pricing like the Russians on ebay i rather pass.Ok minty boomboxes but i have even seen 2500 euro for a sharp 777 Well if you want to sell to the mafia i understand
I think this is the same place that's flogging those high end boxes on Ebay for huge sums of money is it not? I recognize the PC-55 from an auction. I've had my eye on one of his units for sale but don't want to have to unload an organ to pay for it. Beautiful store though.....
Beutiful indeed Brutus but right now there is a gf777 for 5000 usd going on ebay and its even preowned please inform the gentleman that with that price i will take also one family member of his of my choosing!
Great store and remember, it isn't cheap to run a place like this. Here there's rent, payroll, advertising, utilities and taxes (which almost always go up). You'd have to sell a bunch of boxes to keep up with basic costs and still make a living. Finding and getting the inventory ready for sale is would be extremely time consuming. I can't fault them for trying to make a living selling cool audio equipment, but I know it can't be easy.
True, Mister X but given Ebay's price of similar boxes, you'd pretty much have to pare your prices down to what the market will demand. His prices are by far too high given equivalent models available on Ebay. If he truly wanted to move them, he could and very quickly. His market is rather small given that there's a finite supply of aging analogue electronics that #1 Exist in satisfactory condition to sell and #2 an aging fanbase who appreciate these devices , but will eventually move on. This is one example of a PC-55 auction he has. Note the yellowed speaker enclosures and the handle. This box sat in the sunlight for a long time and it shows. He wants $2000.00 https://www.ebay.com/itm/JVC-PC-55-...713069?hash=item3626f34cad:g:ALgAAOSwP4FaEMj4 Now see this one (missing it's handle and one bulb burnt out, fairly easy to replace) at $373.00. It even has the original manual included. Even if everything were complete, this is a $400.00 box at best IMHO https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-JVC-PC-R55C-Receiver-PC-D55C-Cassette-Deck-Player-Shortwave-Boombox/122078286491?_trkparms=aid=222007&algo=SIM.MBE&ao=2&asc=49565&meid=5ff87abff6704afaab533b8a08660d5f&pid=100005&rk=5&rkt=6&sd=232581713069&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851 Just my 2 cents, but I think if he came down to sub $700.00 as a starting point, he'd have already made a sale. Again this is just my opinion.
There only ol boomboxes at the end of the day Geoff, i have seen plenty for around £100 even now but im not after another my friend as they just don't float my boat and the display is a ticking time bomb....the pc5 when upgraded is a much better sounding box but i admit the 55 looks much better lad
