Today was another AMAZING day for me...i did another long trip, for a DEAD MINT Dynasty HT-959 :-O . I never ever thought i would find one in my province, or even in Canada, and to find one in this condition will be next to impossible...it was a one owner box since new and it is museum quality. The only issues, are that it is missing 1 of the rear cassette door holders. plus 1 of the antenna tips is missing :sad: ...i'll post up a wanted ad for those shortly :-D Today i got a call from one of my contacts this afternoon at 1:30pm...so i threw on some clothes immediately and hit the road to pick the Dynasty up in person...it's not a boombox to ship at all :no: . I just got home with it, and took a quick pic with my Iphone...i didn't even wipe it down yet...it's THAT clean :thumbsup: I will post a better pic tomorrow in the daylight.

***On the way down, i saw a huge accident in the mountain area that i was passing through, the car was completely totalled...it was complete black ice everywhere and extremely dangerous to drive in. After i picked up the Dynasty, on the way home i went through lots more black ice areas, and big snow squalls with low visibilty...cars were flipped over in the ditches, and upsidedown the mountainsides...it was horrible. I'm glad i made it home safe...this trip was quite the journey that i won't ever forget, but it was well, well worth it :-D Thanks to my contact for getting me this box...i LOVE it!

Thanks Adam. I already have another MINT Elta Masterblaster that i got from Peter (Blasterpunk) a couple of years ago in a trade...but i only ever used it with batteries. My new Dynasty is plug in ready, which is great :-D

Thanks! These boxes make C-100's and everything else look small :lol: ...they are so damn big in person it's ridiculous...i love them :thumbsup:

Cpl, yes, the Elta /Wheely/Dynasty are the same with huge 10" woofers.

Nice! :thumbsup: that's commitment that is...risking life and limb for a box, but phew what a box! :w00t:

I've no idea of the scale of this thing so when you post some more pics can you do one next to a more common box I'm likely to have seen here in the uk?...that would be fab :-D

Congrats! :thumbsup:

Thanks again for the comments, guys. These boxes are extremely rare in Canada... I have been collecting boxes for quite some time, and the only time i ever saw one for sale was on ebay my first year of collecting...it was from Toronto and i remember it sold for big money...and i remember it wasn't mint. I also think a member here from Toronto had a "fixxerupper" for sale this summer, but that's it.

I guess my next quest is to find the Helix version of this model, which will probably take me another 10 years to find lol!

Maybe these old pics of mine should help ;-) ;-) (Approx) 84cm wide X 45.7cm tall (w/o handle) X 21cm deep. The 'HELIX' brand seems to be rarest of these rare birds.

The Elta is ridiculously HUGE...it makes the M90 look like a walkman lol. The last pic Adam posted shows it's size best, but you still need to see one in person!
