$31 for an ebay grail

redbenjoe - 2008-09-07 20:16

or semi-grail //or sub-grail Smile

anyhow -- 7 days ago on another thread i begged for dibs on this POS -and now want to thank each of our 4,000 members who were desperate for this one -- and backed off.

but - seriously -- from extensive s2g research --this is an AKA Candle brand --
which is good -- right ?

I never heard of that brand. You'll have to review the box and let us know if it was worth the $30 plus shipping... Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-09-07 22:55

well, IF it works , and IF it sounds ok --
then it will be good to have a box to use outside --
and LEAVE outside Smile

sinister - 2008-09-07 23:21

@ least you wont have to worry about finding those hard to get RARE eject buttons

redbenjoe - 2008-09-07 23:28

yup -- the good news is that the deck is dead --
so the eject button is like an 'extra' Smile

Well redbenjellybean, first of all, CONGRATULATIONS! on your recent ebay win. And first prize goes to you for winning something on good ole epay for less than a mortgage payment. Laugh Out Loud

Now, 'bout that box...you really ought to give it a clean up, cuz off-brand or not...it's got classic-cool-boombox looks! Bet it sounds ok too. Those vu meters alone are worth way more than 31 bux! Big Grin

Good luck. Smile

thanks JC --i know its a CANDLE box -- never had or heard one --but this brand gets all good press here on s2g --
so --
if the line-in works --and the speakers aren't shot -- this will be an ok deal

and -- yup , these meters look cool :

I have one of these, pretty much the opposite condition: hardly a mark on it, works perfectly. They are far from what most would consider a grail, but have pretty good sound and look very nice in action with the VU's moving. I'd compare it to.....

That big Sears 2100 box
Panasonic RX-5250
Realistic SCR-8

moncheeto - 2008-09-08 12:01

well for thirty one bucks Eek ira i need some parts Laugh Out Loud

redbenjoe - 2008-09-08 12:11

ramon --you dont even know how to use parts !!
_____________________-

--and Pan Fan --was kidding about the grail thing Smile
but will be glad if this does sound as nice as a panny 5250 -- thanks

moncheeto - 2008-09-08 12:28

i would not be surprized if this box turns out to be a goldstar box

transamguy1977 - 2008-09-08 18:22

WOW Redbonjovi That looks like a graffiti writers box.
That gives it real old school character!!!
I wonder what would get that paint off without harming the surface!?

redbenjoe - 2008-09-08 19:46
