    What he said! It weighs exactly the same as a Crown 850, a much bigger box!

    Hello!

    Welcome! Since you're in Germany, try finding a Crown 980, it has more bass than the 850!

    1st Philips box

    ...really amazed me was how high you can crank the volume with the bass maxed before it craps out. The performance really reminds me of the Crown 850 and M9994. Except despite the specs, this thing spanks both models for volume levels with the bass pumped. It's feather light even with 8 Ds...

    The Crown 850 is easily damaged in shipping. If someone hits those chrome bars, the plastic case will crack.

    In summary: Crown 850 = best sounding, but it is not built as well as the Sharps (in my opinion). Sharp 9494 is bigger than the 9191, and it is more rare. If you don't buy the 9494, I might be interested in it, but I would need to see photos.

    Value is different for each person For example, Americans would pay more for a Crown 850 than Germans would, because it is rare in the US but common in Germany. Also, UK people tend to get better deals than anyone else. I don't know why. Maybe they go to a lot of boot sales. Prices on Ebay...

    I think it's too hard find a boombox for a low price in Italy. It's true, around the world the prices are lowest, but if you have to add the shipping cost to Italy, you will always spend a lot of money for the item. Why in this forum there is not a section for buying and selling? I think...

    I agree that those prices are high. Patience is a virtue when it comes to buying BB's, play the waiting game and you'll save yourself some money. Pay higher prices now and other sellers will raise their prices as they'll think the BB's will always sell at a higher price - therefore you're...

    I never saw the original, this seemed reasonable. What brand solvent do you use?

    Updated "liquid plastic welder" lights up home repair

    hello, I used this product to repair the axis of a key of a Crown CSC 850. This is very convenient because the glue does not have time to move. But I think it's not more solid than a bi-component epoxy adhesive. It is also quite expensive.

    Little works with Molotow Liquid Chome Marker

    Working on Crown 850 Switches. Before. After. Dosen't looks like chemical chrome process but hey, it's the cheaper way for now, to repair some little parts on our radios and many other things. I bought mine on a Graffiti Shop on downtown São Paulo. Hope you guys enjoy. Cheers.
