550 for less!

[Vintage Man]

So this one shipped today.
will need a good detailing and I will restore inside. But for 149.95 + 25 shipping I can't complain.

 

[redbenjoe]

great deal -
a crappy parts 550 missing parts sells for way more than that

Nice score, even if it is a pile of **** when it arrives!

Radio works. Tape does not. all buttons and sliders present. no cracks. usual top trim divits. there is a strap with it. it was in storage for a long time. some kid sold it. I just happen to look at new listing and it just showed up. it would have been gone in minutes. so i pulled the trigger. lol. I had been debating about peppin. box. but with currency exchange and shipping. about 600 canadian. so i won't complain at all. Great week

One of the right boxes for streets purposes: not heavy, killer looking and LOUD.

Bought mine from Ira (incomplete $=100)
Another one to complete the 1st one for $150 and sell leftover parts down here for $300.

Nice Score!!

Cheers!

Bargain!! This model JVC is an essential addition to any serious collection. Just such a cool looking mono!

I'd love to own one, that's for sure.

Congrats,

James...

That is an absolute killer deal

The one that I bought from you, it's the one on top of the Korean C100-F, the another one, is the donor one, that my buyer friend MADE the donor parts (the bars, fine tuning knob, EVEN the swivel mic).

Thank you!!

Late reply. Well I finally got the 550 home from the USA. it was as described. fully working but the sound seemed to low. not as loud as it should be. After looking into the problem it was just a bad volume slider. which I have a part for next Friday. So for 149.00 bucks plus the 25 to ship I made out dam good for 1 of these.

Wow what a deal. Even the shipping. Congrats on the new addition!

Easily the coolest and most intimidating Mono.

Dammit man!!! What a score!

 

[BoomboxLover48]

What a deal! just to see how a 550 looks you have to pay $400. I paid the highest price for my 550. Someone come and steal it from VM

 

[Cpl-Chronic]

Jeez!!! Good deal bro!!

Thanks to bro Ken from Ajax. The 550 is finally up and running with a new pre amp.

 

[blu_fuz]

Great job. Any led mods planned for this one?

That chrome dust cap looks nice!
