Samsnites boxes part 6: Misc Mid Size!

Silver ST525, found in dumpster, working, scratches




Salora SKY 810, a really nice piece. Salora is a Finnish brand. Made by Funai for Salora in Taiwan 1981. Digital alarm clock and analog VU meters. Good shape. Webpage with info and pictures from the factory (in Finnish): Salora SKY 810




Philips D8210 also from dumpster in fine condition. Was our work-radio when we build our house and it took a piece of wood and the handle cracked. And the tapedeck ate some dust so I removed it and put in a cassetteadapter and printed a fake cassette sticker on the adapter. If you look closely you'll see the Sandisk Sansa Clip MP3 player "flush mounted" on the side of the box.




NEC RM-1010RE, got two of these, one is being modified for mp3 playback and improved sound. Quite poor sound despite the separate bass/treble sliders. Stereo spread slider. Alot of inputs and outputs.




Luxor 9556, nothing special...

Nice boxes! I have a similar AKA version of that Salora under the name of Bush BR-5902A. Mine doesn't have the digital clock. The BR-5906A has the digital clock like the Salora. That NEC reminds me of the JVC RC-636 at first glance.

Thanks R.A.! Smile Yes the NEC speaker grilles look a bit like the RC-636s. Yes the Funai radios have surely been released in MANY brands.

WOW, I just clicked that link for the Salora! Eek You was really lucky finding that site, it's great to see pics of them being produced! Cool

Yes the Salora production pics are interesting. A real blast from the past. Smile I think it is a finnish habit to document stuff quite well... at least I do.
