    What color should I paint this POS?

    ...The build quality isn't that great, it needs lots of cleaning and DeOxit, but it has very good FM reception and heavy-hitting bass like a Crown 850, maybe even more! It looks OK in these pictures, but that's because I made sure the speaker rings were reflecting light. If I didn't, it would...

    What's the smallest you got?

    They made the csc-980 also without handle. An awesome sounding Crown top model. Far from a Walkman lol

    What's the smallest you got?

    One swallow does not make a summer...... It looks like that the crown 850 without proper handle was only bad experiment. After this model, the manufacturer has not launched another model without handles - why ;-) . Also, the other big manufacturers have not adopted this experiment and did not...

    Bump this thread if you're in the Boom Room!

    Terry is streaming a live video of a Crown 850 playing a Hip Hop mix tape for tunes in the Boom Room!

    Panasonic RX 5500le

    Yeah its as heavy as my 9191, not sure about wattage will post when I get more info, and its in pretty good condition. Now looking for the 5250, that box ozzes class.

    Panasonic RX 5500le

    Some of the best build quality of any box. That thing weighs exactly as much as a Crown 850.

    If you had to show off one box to non collectors

    Wow - a great example Si - that would be my choice if I ever am lucky enough to get such a beast - I can see why you went for it. I'd have to break the rules slightly and show off my mint Toshiba RT-S782 for features and quality followed by my Crown CSC-850 for size and looks :-)

    The Block Buster

    The 838 is about 1" taller and about 1/2" wider than the Blockbuster. And thanks Rudey.

    The Block Buster

    Interesting comparison pic with the 838, so the Blocky and the JVC are about the same size? I always thought the 838 would be bigger, maybe Crown 850 size.

    Biggest Volume Knobs

    Crown 850 is only 4.0cm

    Biggest Volume Knobs

    Yep, best knobs on a one-piece. Knurled/brushed aluminum, for great grip. None of this slippery nonsense. Gotta make sure it's the 850L though, not the 850F.........the F uses plastic knobs. :thumbsdown:

    Biggest Volume Knobs

    The Crown 850 is the biggest volume knob I've used. Super nice to use, particularly the metal knobs version - there's something about cold steel! :-)

    Volume knob Reli....unless you spin that puppy AAALLL the way up to 11! :lol:

    Biggest Volume Knobs

    The Crown 850 is the biggest I'm aware of. The VZ2000 doesn't count, it's too low to be called a knob. I would have to disagree about the AJ500, I don't like that knob cuz it's made of slippery plastic, and it's not weighted either. It takes way too long to move it across the dial. Weighted...

    Do you even collect?

    I just got back from a walk to the beach, 950 in hand, a very patient look on my wifes face. (I wrote "I love you" in the sand, she got over it quick) This is a great all around radio, again great bass, plenty loud enough. If a radio can be heard over the surf, you got a winner! Again...

    AIWA TPR-990E ** NICE SCORE?

    I just picked up a TPR-990E but only the line in currently works as a music source ... but it sounds fantastic blasting my ipod tunes ... brought a big smile to my face ... but I don't personally know how it compares as I don't have a M70 ... but it compares well against my Crown CSC-850 ... the...

    Do you even collect?

    Fantastic - two of my favourite things - camping and a Crown boombox - I have the 850 but would love a 950 some day - I have heard great things about them - also great photos (another hobby of mine) - rock on dude!

    One might say you didn't learn your lesson either.. If someone packs units so crappy, why keep ordering from him..? That being said, $2000 is a lot of money for a radio that's not perfect.. If I sold a radio for that much, I would spend at least $100 on packing materials just so it would make...

    Well he's a member here as well. To think he would read the topics on how to pack a boombox. Oh and first box he ever sent me, a Crown 850 he only wrapped an ugly gold bed sheet around it and that broke as well. I told him to use a good 2-3" of bubbles. :lol: still didn't learn his lesson. And...
