Here's something I haven't said for quite a while:
I got another Hitachi 3D off eBay to add to the collection
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hitachi-CD-Boombox-CX-450-/200921213204#ht_134wt_1200
Hitachi CX-450
One of the very last of them, definitely a 90s model. Only the second one I've ever seen anywhere, so no-one else had a chance really. Luckily for my bank balance, no-one else cared so it was mine for £15 fully working - can't be bad.
Yeah, it's an egg, but did I mention it's a Hitachi 3D? It's a sickness I have...
The extra woofer is on the back, rear firing (like those Megabass Sonys). Looks like there's a front firing port - I'll have it to bits & find out when it gets the cleanup (& boy, it needs it).
By this time in the life of the 3Ds, the "3D Bass Super Woofer" logo had been relegated to recessed plastic on the top.
Full logic auto-reverse deck, front tray-load CD player & digital tuner. Also found someone selling a remote for it too (which controls everything, apparently). If anyone can point me to a source for a manual I'd be grateful.
Another first: this is the only Hitachi 3D I've ever seen with only a tone control. Dear, oh, dear...
Luckily, it sounds pretty nice, like many of the pricier 90s eggs, although it's not as sweet sounding as the ASW Hitachi 3Ds.
Rare as hell. Go on, Google it, you won't find one anywhere - until this post gets crawled, of course
