Shedful of stuff.

I had a hobble up to the top shed today. There are over 30 scrap radios, bit`s of hi-fi, etc. Madness

Hi Richard, nice to see you posting! Smile

Man, if that pic is just "scrap", I can only imagine what the good stuff looks like! Big Grin

viennasound - 2008-10-08 07:53

Wow! Eek

jlf - 2008-10-08 07:58

A treasure trove!

asdexander - 2008-10-08 08:00

Ha-ha! Totally agree with what Joe said! Big Grin

litfan - 2008-10-08 08:01

If anyone wants the lawnmower, they will have a job on.

True! My "real" collection doesn't look as good as your scrap!!

litfan - 2008-10-08 08:24

The good stuff is on these shelves, and, on my bedroom floor.

Thanks. Good to be back.

retro.addict - 2008-10-08 08:37

Mmmm, I like the RX-5500! I'm "in love" with mine!! Big Grin ...such a classic look! Smile

What's the uncovered boombox on the top of the pile in the shed? It has '8560' lettering on top.

litfan - 2008-10-08 08:40

Well spotted RA. It`s a toshiba RT.

retro.addict - 2008-10-08 09:06

This is an 8550, does your 8560 look a bit like this..?



It's gorgeous!! Eek Big Grin

If so, sell it to me, please! Cool

litfan - 2008-10-08 09:10

Yep, that`s the one. I`m afraid RA, this poor thing has been cannibalised beyond repair, to fix other boxes.

Here's a guy I've missed.

Any chance of a close-up of that Windsor chair?

enskanker - 2008-10-08 11:53

Lit, you know of course that the only other owner EVER of that remote Toshiba will be yours truly.

I do after all have a stake in her.

Oh, and GREAT to see you back, Best of British.

I Agree with RBJ! Can I stack the I agree's like that? Confused

Good to see you Lit! Your shed may have broken toys but it's enough to make us rabid boomer fans drool uncontrollably.

panasonickid - 2008-10-08 21:22

Some truly Impressive Blasters you all have, I'm envious.
I am on a fixed Income & can only rarely afford the better boxes.
My current dream box is the Panasonic 7200, Hopefully one day I'll walk into a Flea Market, Yard Sale, etc & find mine.
Hey, A guy can dream, lol

thafuzz - 2008-10-08 23:52

Welcome back Lit! Glad your doing well and posting again. Say, what gem might this be?

jvc.floyd - 2008-10-09 06:03

litfan - 2008-10-09 07:16

Litfan! Good to see you back . dont be a stranger.

monolithic - 2008-10-11 07:12

WOW! Eek


Great score!!! Cool

How much did that set you back?

litfan - 2008-10-11 08:56

It was $100 (BIN), from ebay.com, about 4/5 years ago. It was odd to get it from the US, as, it is 240v only.
