My big MONO booming birthday!

viennasound - 2009-03-11 10:07

Wow, what a old dog i´m now. Big Grin
Today´s my 34´birthday.

My family asked me what i would like to have a few weeks ago.
Ok, what would be the right thing for a boombox collector? Roll Eyes

In januar i found a very pretty box in the net.
Offered as "big mono transistorradio with tape".
I called the owner about the label - JVC.
Could this really be a.....

Wohaaaa, yes it was!!!! Eek Razz
I never thought i would find such unit any time.

So take a look: Cool



When i came home my family stored it after a big clean up for today.
Now the day was comed to take it out.
But no photos without the right outfit for the owner! Big Grin



... a very proud owner now. Wink



and one more time



at the fresh air



finally carrying around
never thought how big and heavy this monomonster is... Red Face



So it was really a happy birthday! Cool

A few pics of it without my ugly face:









I love this big strange unit Smile

I got Mono on my birthday once..... Leaving

Nice find! Big Grin

viennasound - 2009-03-11 11:07

Hey, also best wishes Andrè!
I think the most boxes are older than you! Laugh Out Loud

Thanks to everyone Smile

If i would tell you the price i got it, you would think i´m cheating....
I got it in dirty, but damageless condition, tape+radio working for ... 20euros.
It was a very young guy (VW-fan, look at the sticker at the box) , he bought now a new ministereo. Laugh Out Loud
The JVC wasted too much space and his girlfriend told him to kick it.

The speaker is giant. Bigger than the speaker at the MasterBlaster. Eek

Thanks to all of this great community! Smile
I´m glad to be here. Nod Yes

Never seen this unit in real before.
It´s very impressive.

Question at all owners of such JVC:
The box is fully working, except one thing i´m not sure. The LEDrow is´nt working.
Should it flash when radio playing, or only when recording tape (not tested yet). Confused
How should it work? Roll Eyes

walkgirl - 2009-03-14 06:46

Oh yummie kuchen! Big Grin, and I did not get any Frown Confused Tap Toes

One thing I can say about those JVC Mono's, is that they can cause a number 10 earthquake on the richter scale, from 20 blocks away!!!

Happy Belated B'Day Dude!!!
