Here is my new avatar.

HMMM minty Lasonic-Rising and Helix. Great once man!

Classic great Boombox,I have another many ClassicBoombox.SHARP777,TOSHIBA983,JvC70, etc.Thanks.

"Classic trio combo" (Isn't that on a restuarant chain's menu) "___ Lobster"? Or something. Anyway, super cool CD. Rocks!

Nice new AV and you put the right one up top!!!
Glad to see you kept the Rising after all.
Mine is still in a million pieces in the closet awaiting restoration.

That's a very cool pic I love the pics on this site and you guys all change your avatars so often it makes for a cool change in scenery

I want a 931 so bad...maybe soon but I love the Rising too and the Helix is pretty sweet

That whole is crazy sick

Thanks! It's always fun to take the boomers out and snap a few pictures!

what a lovely avatar~~!!
I have to change mine ~!!

nice avatar

Some really cool 'boxes there.

I'm warming to those Risings now (I always thought they looked cheaply built). The Helix looks fantastic (I particularly like the lower tweeter grilles and the equalizer set to one side, and it looks even better with the reels in the bottom deck), and the Lasonic, well what can I say? A classic design through and through.

Hey Retro, believe it or not but the Rising is more solidly built, heavy and hefty than the Lasonic and Helix put together! It's a TANK! The Helix is actually quite chincy. Very lightweight and the chrome on the handle isn't even metal, it's plastic. I KNOW I couldn't believe it either. It does make for a great LARGE box that is light and portable that also sounds really nice though. I LOVE IT!

^ They are nice boxes 'Charles', I'd love to own one - especially if they sound as good as you described!

I agree about the Rising, very nice box.
