M90 to the RESCUE

redbenjoe - 2009-04-04 23:04

tonight --at the beach -- perfect weather --
birthday party for local friend --
a surfer dude --travels to australia, hawaii and all over the world , to catch the 'epic' waves.

our friends borrowed his past 12 months worth of video tapes --and made him a gorgeous , ultra-thrilling 30 minute 'highlight' video --
and added a super reggae audio track-

they set up a big screen on a beachfront porch-
all the guests were amazed at everything !! Big Grin

until - suddenly -
'cheers turned to boos' Frown
murphys law attacked -and their 'professional' audio system dropped dead Mad

NO PROBLEM for s2g members Big Grin
ran home -- grabbed the henry m90 --hooked up the line-in -- sounded great !!

at 60% volume - easily loud enough to please 75 LOUD 'beer folks' --and above the noise of the crashing waves --

----
just another practical
'why we collect boomboxes story'

WOW Ira! That was awesome. Another testament as to the BoomBox's place in our lives. Now, more than ever I see rightiousness of the 'Diverdown' themed BeachBox look for you. Way cool Cool

Its to bad they already cast the new lead in the upcoming Baywatch Re-Imagined. You would have been the perfect hero.

A quick trot through the porthole and Ira save's the day.

I know that if that had been a Panasonic you would'nt have had as many fans.

Yeah.... Tell us Ira!

I would say you did not (or, just a few QUICK remarcks).

An avarage person does not care, right? Confused

redbenjoe - 2009-04-05 22:02

yup juan --
most of this same local crowd had already heard/seen it playing on my front porch Smile

but - what was very surprising is that everybody thought it sounded at least as good as the giant 'pro' speakers it replaced !!!

thats GOOD .

i still think the c100f and the gf1000 play louder for a big noisy beach party -
but THIS painted m90 looks exactly like the reggae music we played -- Big Grin Cool

redbenjoe - 2009-04-05 22:09

hey brian --this particular 'surfer dude' gang are all about 35 to 45 years old --none are collectors --but most all had them 'back in the day' Smile

whats funny (to us) is that none ever had // or can remember what a 'stock' m90 is supposed to look like -- so they all think the goofy paint job is 'how it is' Big Grin

I'm wondering Ira, did anybody ask you about the price/value formula in consideration of its cost and how you evaluated it's value, especially since it did not have cigarette burns?

redbenjoe - 2009-04-06 15:31

Smilenope--
other than rambo -
surfer dudes dont buy or 'evaluate $$' boxes-

instead - they all 'save-up' for grass and beer Big Grin
