Hello Europe members!

My girlfriend and I are travelling Europe for the next 3 months. If you live in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Czech republic, Slovenia, Croatia or Italy, please PM your whereabouts and I'll see if we can get to your area because I would love to meet other boombox collectors and see their collections!

Hope to hear from you!

Oh we leave France tomorrow for Belgium... only in order to save money as we have free accom waiting for us... Any Parisians here?
I spotted a gf777 in an audio store yesterday, along with a vz2000, vz2500, gf8686 and a couple of pretty JVC's and some sweet linear turntables... But my GF was not worth the trade - only because of the massive prices!

Ahhh... Too bad I was/am in Ireland while you are in France (Paris -my sister lives there and I am 2 hours out).

 

Tell me, the area/store/audio store where you spotted these Boomboxes was around the Pigalle area (leaving Montmartre, going down, taking a right at the main Blvd, coming to the end of that Blvd, taking a right... and boom there was/is the store)????

 

If it is not that audio store, please do remember were it was/is at... So I can find it and go there when back in Paris!!!!

 

Thanks!!!

 

Oh, and you are welcome to Ireland (free accommodation if you come -Ryanair to Shannon and you are here! I live in Shannon)

Hey Bredgeo!
Thankyou for your reply and offer. Too bad we couldn't meet up; we are not traveling to Ireland this time around. Doesn't Ned209 live there?
This shop you mentioned I will look for, I'm staying in Montmarte at the moment. The shop I saw was in a street off blvd des Filles du Calvaire near the Bastille statue/roundabout called Rue Froissart. Careful though; the prices are fairly high! The guy has a lot of great old gear. His VZs are €1500 a piece and the 777 is €650 with a hairline crack in the cabinet. Still, I considered...

No worries for the Not-Possible-To-Come-To-Ireland thing... Understandable 

 

Yes, Ned209 is from Ireland... I met up with him about 5/6 years ago... and have not heard from him since (I know that after his studies he was off on a world/Europe trek).

 

If not, I will go have a look around the Bastille area... last I went there 2/3 years ago... there was no such shop (or maybe I missed it or he did not have the Bboxes at that time)...

 

If not, the store off of Blvd de Clichy has the Bboxes at the same prices you mentioned from the other store.

 

Later!
