im.out.of.hear - 2009-05-20 06:51

yoooouuu ?????

billy.the.binman - 2009-05-20 09:11

yeah unfortunately, im a git Razz

always wanted a 777 but could never afford one so a 767 has got to be the next best thing right?

and i do like the look of crowns/lasonics very much

all that plus its only a couple hours drive away so i thought id throw a lucky bid in, didnt actually expect to win it tho to be honest Eek Confused Nod Yes Red Face

may well do, ill assess it all when i get them, hopefully going to collect them on the weekend.

ill probably move on one of the crowns as it may not be entirely necessary to have 2 (although it may look rather good), nah what i mean spaaa!

God damn, that's a deal !!

wasn't to far from me Razz but didn't have the money Leaving

would of liked one of the crowns Nod Yes

billy.the.binman - 2009-05-20 11:35

yeah nice deal too agentO, i dont tend to buy stuff on ebay that much as it gets into ripping territory, first box ive ever bought off ebay too come to think of it

bendy i might sell one of the crowns as i said i dont really need 2. went for auction more for the sharp. although gettoman has first dibs as it stands should i decide to sell one

billy.the.binman - 2009-05-27 05:21

so i picked these up the other day heres some photos, i also got this clairtone from a boot fair from a canadian guy! hella shocked to find this, he had loads of other cool stuff, some electro and hip hop vinyl and some other nice bits of retro tat.



tried to do one of those sky shots that the french geeza does but it didnt work out quite the same on my car roof!

im.out.of.hear - 2009-05-27 05:39

Yo,its a good enough pic that lad,nowt wrong wi dat..they look kool..kool purchase..
Glad for you man..Totally Hip Hop..

bendycat - 2009-05-27 05:54

wow they look great in the sun Cool Nod Yes

sky shot looks good - will have to try that one

keep me in mind if you move one on Wink

a very nice ebay buy Big Grin

billy.the.binman - 2009-05-27 06:02

cheers! my parents actually have a flat roof so i could drag them all up there and get some proper photos done one of these days!

im thinking of putting these out for hire as i live in brighton atm. theres loads of arty film types that i might be able to make a few £££ from so they can earn their keep!

just need a thumping base line to kick in and that could be the next Prodigy track Cool


so are both crown in the same condition ? as we saw the crack in the other !

im.out.of.hear - 2009-05-27 16:00

This is a common Thing with the big GFs..Should have seen the state of my Big GF909 (Jap777) that i had shipped from hong kong.. it was mashed,i ended up scrapping it in the end..they just dont travel well at all..and as for the crowns,the problems they get when they have`nt been used in a long time,well everything,bad graphic sliders,non working tape deck ect..thats what happened to my crown..

billy.the.binman - 2009-05-27 16:07

cheers! it sounded pretty good in the real life but the phone cam thought otherwise.

the crowns are of varying states of good and bad, the one in the sky photo is pretty safe. its complete and sounds good.

the other one has one aerial broken and the stumpy bit it connects to has snapped so its terminally a mono aerial. the other aerial isnt original either. its ok otherwise just needs a clean. also the tape decks were iffy and not earthed properly but i sorted that out.

not sure the eq is working too well as they dont do as much as the other one does. sounds abit flat too. also the speakers are abit yellow. only minor issues i could probably sort out with little work.

the other one is well good tho! sounds bassy and full, the eq controls seem to work better and it has both original aerials and has whiter speakers.

the crack is a bit scandalous in the 767 so i might take the back off and try reset it abit better. took all the stickers off and it looks better for it. couple of switch ends missing but again its minor.

ill be running a turntable out of the 767 in my lounge since its got a phono stage
