    Which models have the "Biggest bass and highest highs"?

    No one has mentioned Sanyo or even Crown. I’m also as impressed with the Crown 850 for its deep lows and clean highs in sound!!!

    New to the site, A question about reproductions please..

    Some will use no prevention needed as well. Which is total BS. I got my Crown 850 from a Ukraine seller but actually purchased it in Chicago from his friend. It said needed no prevention but again that was BS. I had to do full cleaning and restoration!!!

    Crown CSC-850 VU’s

    This Crown is almost back to 100%. However there is an issue with the VU’s not being even. It sounds even and spraying the record bar improved it but as you can see from the video it’s still not right. Because these were big sellers does a service manual exist or does anyone have any...

    Crown 850 is the one I’d choose. Looks cool with those huge drivers. It’s got to be the easiest box of all to work on, has that nice, bassy sound (like an M9990, M9994), is lightweight and has the unique ‘strap only’ carrying setup. They seem reliable too!m Although that one looks like...

    ...For outdoors use, that JVC M70 would be the best performer. But for indoors use, my choice would be one of those two Aiwas in the second photo, followed by the Toshiba Bombeat 40, followed by the Crown 850, followed by the M70, followed by the Silver ST-858, followed by........(gonna stop here)

    Most Bass

    You should try a Crown 980, it's got the same chassis but better amps and speakers.

    Most Bass

    Crown CSC-850(L) for maximum lows (down to 30Hz and so on) but not so much sheer punch at high volume. Those woofers can move like crazy though. That thing, when situated right, will give you reeeally pleasant bass department, and is just a joy to listen to. Back in 2015 we were at a cabin and...

    First repaint attempt

    So not sure if anyone remembers the black Crown 850 I got few yrs ago. Well I got another silver 1 last year sometime. I decided to give them both a decent clean at same time and decide which 1 deserved to have the cassette door. Turned out the black 1 had been painted, and poorly at that...

    DrmZ Collection

    Here is the second part of my Crown boomers. Lets start with the classic: Crown CSC-850L. It looks very cool, sounds decent and is very recognizable. Next is the Crown CSC-980L. Basically its the same radio with square grills. But it has some additional features I wish the 850 had...

    Crown --- The King is Back

    :-D :cool: :cool: It is not used yet !! :-D I remember a pic with a Crown CSC-850 and a very cool vintage illuminated Crown Sign . It was yellow and it featured the sign with the Red and Green Line. Maybe it was Reli;s but i am not sure. Cant find it anywhere on my hard drive or the web.

    Crown --- The King is Back

    Enjoyed reading this! Own the 850, 950 and 980 myself. Didn't realise there where so many models in the end. The 980 is most definately one of my favorites soundwise, but the 850 beats it by looks (Those VU's rock!). To me Crown stands out from the rest in look and feel, you simply can tell...

    Crown --- The King is Back

    There is another Crown which is in my collection and missed this list and for sure it deserves to be mentioned because its a hybrid of the CSC-850 and some models from the CSC - 9.. Series (Note the tweeter grills which are the same as the 850 plus 2 Led VU Meters) but i really cant remember...

    Nice New (old) Crown.

    Hey guys, Just got myself a Crown CSC 850L off of ebay, I always liked the look of these 850's :-) Collected it off the guy on Friday, he sold it as not working as the tape deck didn't work at all and the controls where horribly scratchy, but I thought I would take a punt. Got it home and...

    I need help purchasing a boombox

    ...here may have something suitable. If you were in the same country i would hook you up but postage is a bitch from uk. Maybe consider a Crown 850/950/945 to, great looks, most have line in rca, good sound to and simple decks. A Universum Supersound 1600 if you don't mind importing are...
