Crown Ad

I have sworn for ages i had a really old magazine cutting with an ad for a ghetto blaster in it, it was what sparked me off when i was a kid and knew it was some where. anyways after a little pm banter with gettoman he said he knew the one i was on about and it got me motivated.

so went to my parents and sifted through tonnes of old crap, even found a 1987 argos catalogue!

amongst the crap i eventually found it in an envelope. its more crappy than i remember but here it is after a good 15 years in a box i got it scanned. the bloke that scanned it for me cropped it up to make it tidy and made it abit lighter so you can see it better, other than that its as it was from back in the day!

That box has been relisted due to a non-paying winner. Roll Eyes

Still one of my favorite boxes though, mainly from a visual rather than audio perspective!
Great ad btw, love to see period ads for classic boxes.
