Starving college student blowout sale

macdude443 - 2009-05-10 07:35

Within the next few days I will be posting some boxes I have for sale.. some of which include two Panasonic RX-5150's, two JVC's and some smaller Panasonics.

I wish I never had to sell them, but my interest has swelled into vintage home audio and the expense is getting higher as my monetary assets are getting smaller. I'm glad to put these in new good homes.

Stay tuned..

Hi Macdude,

As soon as you decide to let anything go, could you let me know? I am interested in one of the 5150's and maybe one of the JVCs if it is one of the models I am looking for. Thanks for your help!

Matt

Hello Macdude....let me know when you ready to put one of your panny's up for sales...will be keen to put in an offer...and put food on the table Smile Cheers, Raymond.

Ok, here we go... keep in mind, these boxes were found in the wild, and are subject to some rough edges. They made need a little TLC.

1.)
Panasonic RX-5150
This is the best box in the lot, in my opinion. Everything works great. At least an 8.5/10 cosmetically. There hasn't been a scratch put on it since I bought it. New belt too. I'm asking only what I paid for it about 2 years ago, $125.



2.)
Panasonic RX-5150
Another 5150, this one needs some love. Tape deck and radio work flawlessly. Tape counter reset button gone, counter still rotates. Loudness button only makes the left side louder. I just used it without loudness on. Missing the battery cover. It's got character, $50. Good unit to carry around. It's been all over the Penn State Campus, delivering wonderful noise pollution.



3.)
Panasonic RX-5010
This box works great, a little dusty, it's been in storage. Built-in AC cord. $35



4.)
Panasonic RX-5235
Another perfectly working box. This one has auto-reverse/ambience. Very clean, hardly any signs of use. Unfortunately missing a small piece of it's faceplate, seen on the front near the cassette buttons. This does not affect functionality. Cosmetically 9/10. $45



5.)
Panasonic RX-4930
An absolute beater. Broken antenna, scratched everywhere. Works perfectly with one hell of a good tuner. Sound is very good for this small unit. Would make a great work radio for around the house. $12



6.)
JVC RC-828JW
I've had this one for a long time. Tape works well, radio works well. Has it's fair share of bangs and dents. Missing the cassette button label. May need some deoxit. Sounds nice and full. Has some kind of glue dripped down the back. Put a strap on it and carry it around, would make a great box to use, or for parts I guess. $35 (paid $50, I'm practically giving this stuff away!)



7.)
JVC PC-37
A neat little box with good sound. Auto-reverse cassette, Aux input, CrO2 setting. Removable speakers as well. Very clean. Function switch got bent in storage, didn't hurt it's functionality at all. Short wave bands too. $35



So there you have it. PM me if interested. First come, first served. Any questions can be asked in this thread. I'd like PayPal only, thanks.

dumpstermyass - 2009-05-14 09:09

Hey Macdude,

I would like to buy the nice 5150 and the 828 if no one else takes it. I only have one box and these would make excellent starter radios. Just let me know how much the total is with shipping to 60516 and we will go from there. I can do paypal or whatver, or ck/mo. Thanks!

Matt

dumpstermyass - 2009-05-14 09:14

Hi MacDude,

I am curious about that Autoreverse Panny. I sent you a PM with some questions.

Good luck!

bboydanii - 2009-06-09 16:16

U have the panasonic rx-5150 I would be willing to buy

dumpstermyass - 2009-06-10 09:00

Hey bboydanii,

I haven't heard from Macdude443 in a while...I wonder if he has been busy with school or something?

If you are asking about the Panasonic RX 5150 (the top picture) for $125, that was sold to me a while ago...I thought he might put a SOLD message up but he is probably really busy...

He is definitely a great seller though, I'd PM him on the other 5150 (It is missing a battery plate, but that really is not the end of the world), they are absolutely wonderful boxes...Good luck!

bboydanii - 2009-06-10 18:55

NO not the 1st picture the 2rd picture

bboydanii - 2009-06-10 18:56

or the Panasonic RX-5235

phade - 2009-06-11 06:53

So what boxes are still available?

macdude443 - 2009-06-15 09:35

Hey guys, very sorry about the delay. Thanks to dumpster for sending me an email. I have been swamped lately. The following boxes are available:

1.) The second 5150 (missing battery door)
2.) RX-5010
3.) RX-4930
4.) JVC PC-37

jt - 2009-06-15 13:40

Somebody should snatch up that 5150. I have one and can attest to the fact that they are well made, good sounding boxes. Even with the issues pointed out for that one, its a worthwhile unit to carry around.

Mine is pulling duty as a car stereo in the Highlander while the factory stereo is shipped off getting serviced. (gotta have tunes in the ride!!!)

I second this notion. I bought the one with the battery plate and the box is great. At that price, I am surprised it hasn't been snatched up!

I have bought 2 boxes from Macdude443, he is definitely a good seller...

macdude443 - 2009-06-15 17:12

I think I'm stupid for selling the 5150's.. but alas, I have a JVC M70 here that I love to pieces.

boomboxlover48 - 2009-06-21 17:30

Hi Macdude

I am interested in the M70. Let me know how much you want for it.

macdude443 - 2009-06-22 09:42

Heh, well I love it to pieces, I didn't mean it was for sale. I meant I love it so much, that I have no need for the 5150's.

dumpstermyass - 2009-06-25 10:27

Hey Macdude,

do you still have the other 5150, or did someone snag it? If you still have it, I would be interested. Please let me know, thanks!
