Hello Gents,

I am another newb to the website and I really enjoy being able to find other people who are enthusiasts of high quality stereos from the 70's and 80's. Right now I only have a Superscope CRS 4000 that I got at a local hamfest for 40$, and I would like to find some of those old JVC "dream boxes" I see on the net...

At any rate, My CRS-4000 dates from between 1978-1980 and is AM/FM Stereo only, no Shortwave ...It has a myriad of jacks on the back for aux in/out, phono, and dual microphone jacks. It also has dual condenser mics on the front and has 2 jacks on the end of each speaker for an additional external speaker to be added..

Here are a few pics I found online as I dont have a digital camera yet:

This picture does not do it justice...does anything know what it might be worth, or worth asking if I decide to sell? I really like the old thing, it has neato VU meters and is mega loud..Any help or info would be much appreciated, thanks!

See topic a few lines above this entitled 'Requests for bbx prices, values...'

The worth of any given boombox is only the amount someone is willing to pay, that you are happy with, at that exact time of sale. Not particularly helpful for you, but true.

If it's current ebay market value you are after, you'll need to watch the bay for a while to get a feel for it. And even then prices can swing wildly depending on the market forces at the time i.e. an ambitious seller and an overzealous buyer can together quite easily skew the averages...

Good luck!

nice box you`ve got there!

look this ol`ad...

Now THAT is a cool ad! Where did you find it? I looked all over and all I found were a few small pics from a site in Japanese!

This Japanese site specialises in super-rad ghettoblasters. They must be very popular there.

You did ok with the $40 purchase.
It is a good value for that box.
Since were actually talking about used items here
there is no set price.
