Nice Bison

That black Aiwa second from the bottom is sweet.  Redbenjoe was selling his but I missed it.

And that yellow Sony Sports was my box in college, lol.  I was too cheap to buy anything better.

well spotted

brutus442 - 2012-03-26 18:31

Great collection Bison!!!!

 

My favourite box is in there under a different name?? Teleton I've never heard of this nameplate. Was it manufactured by Jutan International Limited (JIL)??

 

I recently took mine out and posted a pic with it and a few of my other boxes...I love that box!!! Can you tell me more about it (ie where you got it, when...etc)

 

Thanks Bison

ive just dug it back out brutus,i cant find jutan international stamped anywhere,ive uploaded the sticker on the back of the unit.

got mine last summer with a couple of other boxes in a deal on ebay.

i think its a good box a keeper for sure.

teleton

brutus442 - 2012-03-27 09:17

Amazing! Thanks Bison...very informative Thanks for the pic upload!

 

I had no idea they were fabricated unders AKA's Now I know

retro - 2012-03-27 09:37

Awesome collection Bison, how do you like the sound of the Rotel?

chris69 - 2012-03-27 10:13

Both Citizen and Candle were made Jutan International Limited. They were very popular here in Canada and many were sold by Consumers Distributing but also other electronics stores sold both too.

My personal grail that i've been looking for about 15 years for is a very high powered and rare 3-piece Candle because both myself and my cousin owned one each when we were around 15-16 years old. It retailed for $400.00 + taxes and was the highest priced and most powerful Candle branded boombox ever.

Consumers is where my Candle came from but I was unaware it was sold abroad as Teleton. I've never heard that brand ever. I wonder how many other AKA's  are out there that we know as Candle/ Citizen?

 

Do you have a pic of that 3 piece Candle Chris? I don't recall a multipiece unit from Candle...then again my mind is going I'd love to see it....

chris69 - 2012-03-27 10:36

Yes i do! After 15 years of searching i found one identical except that it this one is branded VIKING by Eaton's. Mine was identical in every way except that it was branded CANDLE and dark charcoal gray as opposed to silver.
 
 
Man i wish i could find a complete working unit but i've only ever seen 4 in my lifetime... mine,my cousins,one i stayed at a house room and board and i later found one at a yard sale but it was trashed so i only kept the speakers.
They seem to think it was actually made by Sanyo on this russian website but i could never find a Sanyo made identical to this and they don't give the Sanyo model # on this website either so i wonder if it actually was made by Sanyo at all because there was another company that made boombox's similar to Sanyo.

chris69 - 2012-03-27 10:39

You would never find this $400.00 Candle at Consumers Distributing lol. It puts all the other Candle's to shame big time. Not big but very high power and high end with an Auto-Reverse deck. The woofers were 20 watt and the tweeters 30 watt

chris69 - 2012-03-27 10:47

That WILCO stands out in the crowd

the rotel has static/white noise on one chanel the working chanel has great sound and good bass i can see why they are sort after,

i was thinking of getting someone to have a look at it..belts are the limit for me

mitchelljames - 2012-03-27 11:21

I have an Amstrad 3 piece with pop out walk man that was sold under the Candle brand.

 

 

radio.raheem - 2012-03-27 23:12

You have shocked me bison...as far as im aware you havn't been colecting that long..and you have more than me....nice job....well done....

isolator42 - 2012-03-28 05:10

Which one do you pick out for the best sound? That massive sony, perhaps?
 
For looks, the WILCO seems to be floating everyone's boat... me too.
new boxes 012

Looks like it has some analog FM presets. Cool.

 

Got any more pics of it, Bison? I want to see what all those buttons do... 

andyboombox - 2012-10-03 07:44

bison - 2012-10-03 08:00

yorkshire has been good to me for boxes

stereo.mad - 2012-10-03 08:10

bison,nice collection you got there pal...some real good sounding ones as well.

i agree with andy on that 9595 there a good solid box,i traded mine and been trying to replace it ever since!

new%20boxes%20014

andyboombox - 2012-10-13 02:32

yes i42 i can confirm the wilco is a stunning,heavy,built like a tank box as ive seen it in the flesh-all the buttons you mentioned there are the presets for different radio station choices i believe.....ill go as far as saying i suspect it was at least m70 money when it was new-but good luck bagging it-its andys pride and joyand i cant say i blame him-what a box

bryan.spruth - 2012-10-26 17:43

samovar - 2012-11-17 07:44

what a wonderfully original collection, bison. i see a pattern in it, beyond the obvious thread of certain brand marks. it' a pattern of consistency and balance between quality and design. congratulations!
