Actually, that was already bought by somebody else months ago. peppinhk has one on eBay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/SANYO-MR-X5-Vintage-Boombox-Ghettob...tem#ebayphotohosting and I'm gunnin' for this Crown CSC-950f: http://cgi.ebay.com/Huge-Vintage-Crown-CSC-950f-Boombox...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I got stuck with a flakey one that my tech guy gave up on.It may have been hard to work on or had complicated circuitry-I don't know.It functioned for a few minutes for me at work and really put out some volume!As I remember it had very good bass and was nice and bright.I wish I could get mine going.It's a beautiful high quality and well built boomer!

Damn, for such a beautiful box, that's an ugly outcome!

Hope you can find another technician to help make her sing again!

Jovie that sucks, it worked just long enough to tease you. I hope you can get it going again, it's one sweet looking box.

GO WITH THE SANYO!!!!

ive never actually heard it, but i have that crown and it is one disappointing box. it looks great, but the bass is really poor on it. one of the worst sounding boxes i own...

I don't know... I've heard some mixed opinions about the Crown, mostly positive. http://stereo2go.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7966054064/m/8321033325
