Ramon has agreed to help turn this POS into a museum piece --

I'd go for it if I were you Ira...... Nod Yes Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-06-27 18:53

Smile
thanks for the pep talk , skippy

baby.boomer - 2008-06-28 04:02

Sorry. I don't do dibs. Get ready for a bidding war on that sparkling Sanyo beauty!

I'm all over this JVC, too:


(Yeah right.)

oldskool69 - 2008-06-28 05:23

And by way of TWKO (Technical Wallet Knock Out) the winner is....

I'm stepping aside as, according to Ira, I'm still waiting on FEMA and can't afford anything! Laugh Out Loud

Good luck to you both. Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-06-28 06:28

well - the secret plan -- after the victory.
is to shoot a jug of windex at it ---

and then to post it right back up here on sale for you fellas :

will call it "near mint // easy fix" Smile

baby.boomer - 2008-06-28 11:34

Well, in that case... it's all yours.

Actually, I've managed to win my fair share of boxes in the same condition on eBay over the years. I just never find out until they arrive!

redbenjoe - 2008-06-28 13:04

Laugh Out Loud Laugh Out Loud
they may have been the 'one owner' boxes

Darn ... James Slept throught the bidding for this .... Glad you got it Ira ...

well thanks for the fine gift --
no fault of anybody but mine - that i overpaid by $50 for that POS !!

so how about --lets not post or ever discus this one again-- i was trying to forget about !!
really

enskanker - 2008-07-04 06:33

er, What happened to ..... your first one....is it under all those bottles?

redbenjoe - 2008-07-04 08:14

hi uncle ed --the doublemint 9998 you sent is still safely in your shipping bag --
its far to nice to take to the beach --

but this beauty i just won -- is already pre-rusted and ready for action Smile

redbenjoe - 2008-07-16 12:27

well -the gem arrived today -
and i can report 2 bad news and i good news :

bad #1 ---
is that in the long time it took to get here --jens has deleted his 'show your ugly boxes' thread --and i was so anxious to enter and win it it all !!

bad #2 -- is that i have to thank the kind MEMBER who ignored my polite request for a simple PM -and instead -- came in with 6 seconds to go - and turned an obvious $15 box - into a $60 overpriced rip Mad
no names -- it was NOT dm4u --but it was one our our big time collectors.
----

but the good news makes it all up :::
by next week --old buddy ramon will finally have his brand new industrial grade hammer from home depot lay-away Laugh Out Loud
and has promised to turn this duck into a swan --
details of the progress will be up next month Smile

masterblaster84 - 2008-07-16 12:35

Good news sort of Ira and a great example of why we need to communicate with each other. Regardless of some claims to the contrary we actually can save each other money by cooperating on bidding for boxes, Ira has a perfect example. Nod Yes

vladi123456 - 2008-07-16 13:31

Don, good point!! Big Grin

Ira, this box looks a lot like Sanyo 920 - what does it sound like??

jvc.floyd - 2008-07-16 13:38

i like it! looks like a fixer upper to me but thats ok .lol

redbenjoe - 2008-07-16 13:40

i also say that don has a very good point Smile

vladi --this model. imho, should be on your want list -
seriously --i have a great one i bought off uncle ed a few years ago --
it sounds like in between your m70 and your m90 --

(which means GOOD!!!)

I Agree It's a very nice looking and sounding box, especially with the loudness engaged which gives it a very warm sound. As a bonus it has a very solid build quality.

moncheeto - 2008-07-16 16:35

one of my favorites

vladi123456 - 2008-07-16 18:52

How does it compare to 920 though? They look very much alike!

redbenjoe - 2008-07-16 19:22

the 9998 seems to have slightly harder bass hit --and the 920 is more clear at the highs --

other members might have a different opinion about these two.

masterblaster84 - 2008-07-16 19:29

Well Vladi since I'm sans 920 I can't make that comparison but I like my 9998 because of it's uniqueness, quality and sound.

vladi123456 - 2008-07-18 14:46

Cool - thanks guys!!! Big Grin

redbenjoe - 2008-07-18 15:51

hey vladi --
allocate some big funds --
we will have THIS one all spiffied up for you -
shortly Laugh Out Loud

vladi123456 - 2008-07-18 16:53

I'm prepared to make a large payment - would $2 be enough?? Wink

moncheeto - 2008-07-18 17:45

vladi we accept visa ok or mastercard the 9998 is in fact almost the 920 but i consider it better sounding Cool

redbenjoe - 2008-07-18 17:46

well vladi -
we already turned down a solid $3 --

but since you are a valued repeat customer --
rest assured that your offer will be further evaluated Smile

Gee all you retiree's down in florida are getting senile - exhibiting a loss of cognitive abilities (as memory) associated with old age, so sad but we still have high hopes for you Laugh Out Loud

panasonic.fan - 2008-07-18 20:34

Oh no, Sam talks from the grave..... he said, "put a stop to that guy that keeps comin' in my stores, buying all of the "Eggs"......

I mean, after all the UK folk talked about them fondly back around the time you joined the site, so you *had* to have bought them all. This we know.
