As most of you know, since I got the M9996 & went through the toil of repairing it etc, I haven't been up to much else in the stereo world But then, I started recording more & more cassettes as my home setup is finally complete, the Technics cassette deck & also the Technics direct drive...

...of it but much closer than before No guesses about which stereo I am using here................I love this thing!! Look out soon for my Crown 850 in 4K...................that will be interesting! Extra points if you can identify both of the loops sampled here...

I like the first one! Yep and it's for my Crown 850 😎 Bad Boy Bill

Yep these weigh exactly as much as a Crown 850. They are packed. Very clear and precise sound too.

Thank you!

The color on that 850 is really nice, not too loud, but not too subtle. One sweet looking Crown. You do some great work Mel.

Here is a custom Crown 850 I did for a collector. Cleanest 850 I have ever seen and the color is stunning.

...power consumption under control to allow the practical use of D cells is a much more impressive achievement, in my mind at least! :-) The Crown 850, Sanyo M9990 & M9994 are examples of boomers, IMHO that sound much bassier than they should considering the modest power output offered on...

ah-ha. that explains/answers that. cheers jimmy! an yea i had actually read somewhere about metal knobs (wiki boombox i think) hadnt thought to mention mine weren't. im still way happy with it. just need to find the cassette door cover now

All Crown 850s have black cases. The outside of the front cover is painted silver from the factory. I think your one has a painted front panel to match the black sides and rear panel. Your version with the 'coloured' Crown badge is the later version that had plastic control knobs instead of...

as far as i know its factory black. looks legit. what would be a give away if was painted? its black inside. i do like the silver version, but beggars cant be choosers. ha. plus the crown badge has colors on it. not sure if iv seen any others like that?

You said it Christine. Those grills are slick. Now, I wanna paint My Crown 850 a satin Black. It looks mean as a rattlesnake.

so iv been sitting on few of these for couple of weeks now. saw i was near 100 posts so thought id wait till had them all before posting. first up...Toshiba RT-8840, BomBeat 14 cleaned up rather good. everything seems to work just needs a belt, looked easy to get to. tho the switches are a bit...

I picked up a Crown 850 for a reasonable price off eBay not so long ago and after fixing it and making it complete I was really pleased with it. So when I was offered a 950 in trade by Andy (retrohead) I was very interested! So I drove the hour or so to Andy's house, had a chat and some fish...

5250 has Ambience and a bit more bass, but the 5500 has better build quality and is more rare. The 5500 is so tightly packed that it weighs exactly as much as a Crown 850 which is a much bigger box. 5250 bass is warmer, but 5500 speakers are tighter and better for guitar and vocals.

Thanks a lot Adam much appreciated, so the 850 is from 81 then? or am I missing something? beautiful box btw :yes:

Thanks Adam that would be much appreciated :-)

I believe that may correct. I scored a Crown 850 that I have read came out in mid 80s. It has a manufacture date of '81 0n an adhesive on it. I'll double check it tomorrow.

:-D I've never had the opportunity of listening to a Unicef or Crown (other than My CSC-850). The TRC-931 foam edged woofers have has always aided it with a good bassy sound.

Always wanted one of these as I had heard good things, well i picked this one up for a song. It had some issues, almost all of which are now sorted, quite impressed as it has some big woofers and it really does look peachy i think: Here she is naked and soapy (Northerner will be proud) And...
