What is cider?
It’s like beer made from apples

i was fixing a video recorder for a friend once,i was nervous as hell because it was a bang & olufsen and the guy said he paid a fortune for it,when i took it apart,underneath the shell it was an hitachi,it was actually exactly the same model as i'de worked on before,so basically,b&o must have got aload of videos from hitachi with no casing,then built a casing to fit,then made it there own..
some people must have thought they were buying a B&0 video and gave a grand for it,but little did they know,that inside it was a £200 hitachi..
same as a few years ago,i was repairing a jvc portable tv,when i took the back off it had cheap brand bush insides..

hey toocool4 yeah man thats the exact same one,only now i have the beogram cd3300 to go with it too-that guys on ebay is of course a buy it now,but he seems to sell plenty of it so i dont doubt his price one bit-he has a cd player on offer somewhere else that ive only just noticed with a buy it now of 200!i know we cant really base values off of this but if we did ive potentially got about 300 quids worth!wow!dave bush man youre good-i saw a wrecked record player with built in amp (i forget the model number) at a carboot a few months back and they wanted 50-for a wrecker!this works fully,sounds great with two 45w akais pumping away-its not mint but its very presentable!so in the long run ive answered my own question!

hey beanieman i dont know if theres any hitachi content to these units but i know what you mean-just look at jvc and ferguson-if your unfortunate enough to look at a ferguson 3t13 boombox,like i have,youll notice a startling similarity to an rc656 jvc-the one with the enclosed speakers!so it seems even b+o were into copycatting too!
