Went to a few estate sales last weekend and found this rare Toshiba mini compo RT-SX700 I dont know what year it is from but probably mid 1980's.

No info on google either. It is in near mint condition.

great scores robb, the 550 looks amazing.

let me know if you want to get rid of it. 

What a pair of gems.  The 550 is one very early solid lump of a box, these were changing hands for £150 about 5 years ago.  The Tosh is interesting, very similar to the Sony CFS-9000

good finds for sure robb 

Robb,

It's real Robbery!

There's a nice service manual for your Sony

Took some new pics to show condition

Well done Robb! That Tosh is

Both are nice !

Detailed pics too !

Thats great

The pics show up small on the forum. You have to right click and open them in new window to make them bigger.

Now only saw the Toshiba in detail 

Is it Piano Black on the face?

With Vertical LED VU Meter?

Have Passive woofer on the rear?

And all for 10 

Please post a video please!

There were similar Mitsubishi and Akai Mini combos in the good old golden times.

Is it Piano Black on the face? Yes

With Vertical LED VU Meter?  Yes

Have Passive woofer on the rear? Yes I think

I will post a video soon.

They both look really clean just bought my first one a sharp gf9000e what's the bes way to clean it as we'll as you have?

I used a soft car detailing brush and quick detailing spray wax. It is safe on car paint so it's safe on this.

Use 75% alochol and qtip for stubborn spots.

I second that.... BBX's deal of the year for $12 .  How do they sound ????  Def. like both and the old guard box is actually very cool.

Nice boxes...tosh sure liked there pasive radiators...didn't they...congrats

Here's a video of the boombox
