Boombox exhibition - help needed with old school images

rambo.estrada - 2008-05-09 08:52

Hey guys, well I've been meaning to get this happening for a long time, and I've finally set a date, the 29th May, yep this month!!

Not really going to be a big deal, just a night at my friends shop, should be fun, just waiting on confirmation of a beer sponsor and I'll post the flyer here.

I was hoping to have a A5 card next to each box with it's name, date of production, a little bit of info about it (special features, why it's significant to popular culture)

I imagine it might look something like this (Ignore the drivel I wrote and I have no idea of production dates)

Photobucket

Man I really need that bbx database, but I only have macs at home and at work.

If I post the boxes I am planning to exhibit, can you guys help me?

I was hoping someone could tell me rough production dates for each model and if you had any old school images (or famous new ones I guess) featuring the box it would be awesome if you could post them here or even better email high res ones to ramboestrada@clear.net.nz

I had a huge collection of old images but lost them when my hard drive died.

Also if you had any ideas of significance of each model or special features that would be great too!

Thanks for your help, I'll post a list soon

Actually if anyone has good high res scans of any cool old school pics featering classic 1 piece boxes I'd love to get my hands on them, even if it's different models to the ones I'm having in the exhibition. I was planning on printing up some posters.

I have a few that MONOLITHIC was kind enough to send me a while back, from this thread they are awesome, any others would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hey man not sure if you can use any of these, or if their quality is even high enough.

Ive downloaded these from this site over the years, so you may already have many of them.

Do I get any contribution credit in the show? Wink

Hey guys! Thanks for your help. Great images.

I think I'm going to have to change tact a little and go with interesting images of each box, or I'm not going to be able to get it done in time.

I've got a few now, maybe soon I'll post a complete list of boxes I still need pics of.

Unfortunately I'm reduced to dial up at the moment, so searching the web is hard work.

Here is the incomplete flyer...

Photobucket

After the exhibition, I'll post a virtual exhibition for you guys with photos and the images I used etc.

I'm also working on a movie montage of famous scenes featuring bbxs.

Thanks guys.
