After waiting almost a month the Tech. guy which my buddy JT advised to have it serviced finally got my baby fixed. Left channel was bad which turned out to be some Transistors also there were some other odd & ends. All Bulbs were out now she's playing as she should. Transamguy was right after getting the Telefunken HP 800 I would definitely want the Studio 1M, well TA you were right. This box sounds awesome a real gentlemen's box!

transamguy1977 - 2009-01-21 15:10

Juan I am glad she was everything you expected.
You are now part the very Elite Funken Hifi club Big Grin
Dare I ask but
How do you like the sound quality compared to the ole M-90 ?
Oh BTW it looks Dead beautifull

oldskool69 - 2009-01-21 16:10

Damn! Awsome man! I need to get off the pot and finish getting my chocaolate Studio 1 going! Big Grin

ford93 - 2009-01-21 18:54

TA glad to hear from you really!

Man to compare the 1M to the M90 hmmm, I'll tell you what the M-90 is a loud box with good Bass.

The 1M has a more warm sound you can't raise the Bass too much as it will distort, but like the HP 800 I love the quality of these boomboxes. I'am not the least disapointed with the Telefunkens they are awesome!

I'm glad I managed to get two top of the line Telefunkens they are true HiFi! Nod Yes

I Agree
this model is so beautiful and expensive and great ---------
and HEAVY --that probably no original owners ever took them outside --
almost every one we see is near mint.

This one has been on my wanted list for awhile now... just never pulled the trigger. It has the look I like, that's for sure!

Someday... someday...

It looks great! I never wanted one of these, but your pics are making me change my mind. Last year i passed on one of these for $40 missing one speaker...i'm such an idiot for not buying it Laugh Out Loud

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Dam GS Eek you had a chance in owning one, not too long ago there was an auction for two complete 1m speakers that was sold cheap!

ghettoboom777 - 2009-01-22 10:10

Hi Ford-Beautiful-I love it!
BTW-I like that your using some TDK MA-R reference cassettes.I love em'-Super tapes.
I'm glad you got it going!
Have a great time listening to your German Hi-Fi Unit!-GB. Smile Nod Yes

Sweeeet!!!!

Looks like the wait was worth it... I'm very happy for you Juan, and maybe even a tad jealous!

Ted at Audio Laboratories in Tampa really is a great tech. He's professional, patient, and most imporantly, honest. In the last 8 years he has repaired several Technics 1200's, a Sony DAT deck, a Behringer DX1000 DJ mixer, an RCF powered PA speaker, a Yamaha R-9 receiver and most recently my Nakamichi RX-303.

His next project for me will be the repair of a Sansui AU-717 integrated amp.

I haven't taken any boomboxes to him yet... I thought I'd get Juan to guinea pig that for me Big Grin (Just kidding, Juan...)

I do feel fortunate to have found someone of his caliber. With the attitudes leaning so much toward disposable electronics nowadays, it is becoming more and more difficult to find reliable and talented repair techs. And yes, I do think it takes talent.

ford93 - 2009-01-23 20:50

Thanks for referring him JT he really took his time in fixing my baby props to Ted.

jt - 2009-01-24 06:04

Man, that is a sweet box!

I like how you're showing off the MA-R and MA-XG on top of that last pic!! I missed that the first time around.

What tape is actually loaded and playing?

beatbox - 2009-01-24 07:48

Yes.

Its my fav box for sound, and funny that yours distorts when you turn up the bass, mine keeps on going and going. It murders my M90 in my opinion. You can here it from 4 floors up too!

Looks mighty fine, well done.

ford93 - 2009-01-24 20:47

JT it was the TDK SA-XG a very rare tape to find. I only have one Frown I should have bought more back then. They are great tapes and I love that brown tint.

Beatbox don't get me wrong it does have rich bass, but keep in mind when you're playing house music you really can't have it all the way down to +5.
