Straight outta Facebook

I just thought i would share this story with all of yall;

 

There is a Facebook page where people living in my area can swap or give away stuff. One can also ask for stuff, so just for kicks i left a message askin for 80's radios. And guess what, i got three offers!

The first i had to decline, it was a 70's radio without tape deck, really nice though, cant remember brand... Grundig maybe? The two other are here: Nasty and filthy...

National Panasonic 5310

 

Really good sound, bass & treble and loudness switch! 10€

Samsung ST-775

 

Cool looking big box. Nice sound. A lot broken on this one, tape deck, switch, antennas, power switch. And it starts to smell burned after a while...

. Swapped it for a cheap bottle of red wine...

Hey Samsnite and Bison,

 

I recognized that Samsung under another AKA here in Canada. It's the Candle JTR 1287
I never knew that Samsung was in the box biz I don't recall seeing any Samsung boxes in my youth...but that's not saying much

 

BTW Great score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
