I did actually.  Though when I asked Dave to put a hold on it for 24 hours whilst I thought about it and worked out how the hell I was going to pay for it I didn't sleep much that night lol   Was a big deal to blow my budget big time but rather than risking it on an ebay gamble I'm a million times happier getting it from Dave so it wasn't that hard a decision.

I'm at work now trying to check the advice on client records for those advised earlier in the week and I am not concentrating at all...anything could get through my normally eagle eyes today

 

So the plan is to leave work early and head south.  Gonna call in to see Andy on the way, have a brew and see this mighty Teleton of his. 

 

Then on to Dave's to pick up not only the most beautiful box I've ever seen but my repaired Aiwa TPR990 too!!  Unfortunately Dave won't be there as he's out boozing so I'll have to see what other boxes I can sneak out whilst I'm there lol

 

Then I'm off to my sisters for a barbecue so the 920 will have its very first outing within an hour of ownership...got the D's packed and ready.

 

Gonna have to work hard at not exceeding the speed limit too much on my way down though.

 

Then as if thats not even boombox related activity for one weekend I'm aiming to meet up with Neil (schneil) on Sunday too.

dont do anything to lose concentration on the job in hand si bro,the time will come but youll be stuffed to pay off the 920 if you lose your job for lack of concentration,you naughty boy lol

just take your time when driving here and to docs place too-im not going nowhere and neither is the 920 and 990 so take your time!thats an order!

you were right buying off dave,as we all know he is a great bloke,and his boxes are exactly as he says they are-not like some hammered junk off of the internet-like ive said before,the guys in and from manchester are top blokes

havent heard from neil in a week or two so i hope he is ok

andyboombox - 2013-07-19 02:45

and stop teasing me about the c7....youll stop me concentrating now too

I'd need at least 5 minutes to get further away as the fire will set off the high explosives I've wedged into the tape deck...don't want to be within the blast zone

bison - 2013-07-19 13:10

michiel - 2013-07-19 13:18

northerner - 2013-07-19 13:57

Just eaten my body weight in burgers and supping a beer in my sisters back garden...I'm knackered! Been to Andy's and Dave's and had a blast.

Got the most beautiful box in the world playing too

Dave I'm chuffed to bits with both boxes...the Aiwa 990 is fab now its deck is working and both channels are booming...first time I've heard it in stereo and its fantastic. So very very grateful for your awesome repair...this on its own woulda made my day

But then comes the 920...just stunning mate, love it! Big shiny and loud, just the way I like em! Pics and full stories to follow tomorrow as I'm supposed to be socialising lol

So massive thanks to Dave for his brilliant repair and this awesome 920!...will post more tomorrow guys!!

docs - 2013-07-19 14:00

Glad you are happy Si, that's what it's all about for me.

northerner - 2013-07-19 14:21

I couldn't be happier mate! tho it was a shame I couldn't thank you in person, especially for all the hours of work you put into the 990.

Oh and your new bike is awesome mate!...had a little peek, hope you don't mind lol

radio.raheem - 2013-07-19 22:21

northerner - 2013-07-20 02:00

920 all day long the m70 is far to overrated lol

andyboombox - 2013-07-20 02:31

i totally agree tim lad-but how about a pitch against the m90.....ill get aggro for this but i think the 920 beats that too another overrated box in my honest opinion!

radio.raheem - 2013-07-20 02:35

m90 wins hands down andy lad but the m90 is fugly where as the 920 well

andyboombox - 2013-07-20 02:38

ill go as far as saying the 920 is the sexiest box ever made....even better than the c100-but thats just me lad

radio.raheem - 2013-07-20 02:42

it is a beut andy along with the crown970...best large looking one

peicers out there lad

andyboombox - 2013-07-20 02:51

radio.raheem - 2013-07-20 02:57

andyboombox - 2013-07-20 03:23

well tim lad its been through the generosity and kindness of members on here really-the guys know who im talking aboutmy in the wild finds are still fairly low,ie when they show up its low rent stuff still,like the gf7700 i got the other week-if only it had been the gf800 instead,or even the 7850-but through members ive been supplied with some great units down the years-including yourself lad

radio.raheem - 2013-07-20 03:40

talk somebody like dell into bringing you down andy....that way i can get my m90 fixed and thers prolly 20 25 boxes you can have here lad including that big pioneer i had a few weeks back

andyboombox - 2013-07-20 03:47

thanks for your kind offer tim lad but i only have room now for prolly 1 or two more as im maxed out,but for sure next time im in cardigan im nipping in for a brew and a chatyour neck of the woods is lovely,it really isif this landscape gardening thing takes off for me im going to retire to cardigan-the rest of wales sucks lol

deech - 2013-07-20 06:31

northerner - 2013-07-20 10:16
