Looking to buy a decent and working Hitachi TRK-8180 bbx. My budget is around $300 plus shipping. So if anybody here has one to sell, let me know. As usual, you can post here or PM me. Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.

I have a pretty nice 8180 that may be up for grabs, I'll PM you some photo's later.

Thanks docs, I'll wait for it. Anyway, where are you located at? I'm in Los Angeles, CA

great box the 8180 one of the best Hitachis imo.

Always fancied a 8180, has a meaty look yo it.

I think these are more common in EU perhaps, not sure. i haven't seen many US members with one. Uploading images link to you now.

a very good box the 8180 .

PM sent

sure is rich 

it's an hitachi, did they really make anything any good? very average imo.

Hello beatfreak, and welcome.

I have a TRK9150 and it is brilliant. Great all rounder. Then there is the TRK8600 which is built like a tank and although not exactly a heavy hitter in the bass department, it sound very good and looks fantastic.

The 3D machines are a bit hit and miss; mostly miss I think.

The mini's are among the best looking and most highly featured of all but still sound... small.

ye iv'e had most of the hitachi boxes and thought they sound very average, the 8600 being one of the best I think but they just lack something

I disagree there beatfreak. The silver 8180, is a gem of a radio. The stereo-wide, makes a big difference. The 8600, just doesn`t impress me at all, look`s wise, or, sound wise. One, i don`t hear mentioned much, is, the good old 8800. This thing, was a big step-up, in technology, for hitachi. 2-motor deck, with pre-programmed, computer microchip. This, is my own opinion.

those Perdisco versions of the 8600 look so much better than EU version shame they werent available over here..the 8180 is a gem.. the silver version even more so.

never heard an 8800 Rich they look very like the 8190/8290 is the spec much better?

Ok guys, I'm still looking for one though, so if anybody has one for sale post here or PM me . I'm located in Los Angeles CA, USA

Thanks,

Larry

I guess my offer was no good.

Good luck.

Hi Larry, I said that I was awaiting an offer, if it was one I could not refuse then it sells, if not then I keep it.

Sorry, for the late reply bison. Yeah, the 8800, is very much like the 8190/8290, except, it has a metal top plate, 2-motor, computer controlled. feather-touch (?) deck. I like em very much. You are right, about the perdisco version of the 8600. Why, did we alway`s end up with brown?
