blu_fuz, I understand that they are probably an expert on the Helix Wheely 5000 and all of it's counter parts. My issue is that they're being sold on the markets faster that my dry pocketed self can keep up. I just want to know if you know where I could possibly get my hands on one that hasn't already been sold. (And yes I saw the one on eBay, I can't name a single person on here that be willing to lose $5000, especially myself!)​

OhhhhhJack!

I'm here.

Let's start at the beginning.... what is your fascination with this blaster? Any particular reason you want the Wheely? What are your expectations on sound/build quality for one of these?

It's been my dream boombox ever since I laid eyes on it, I don't know why I like it so much, I thinks it the overall size and flashyness of it that makes it so appealing to me, it seems like the kind of thing that turns heads. As in the way of sound, I want something loud enough to be a status symbol, but not enough to make me go deaf:lol:

(Build quality, if theres missing pieces, as long as I can get them or make them myself its all good)

I saw your post on reddit too, you are going nuts!

The size and flashy bits are really what make the box. You would think a 10" speaker setup would just be awesome, but this radio lacks any kind of clear boomy sound. I think you won't get the same joy from a Wheely as you would with a Conion C100. The c100's are a close second on size but perform much better and still have the look...... Keep a wheely on your list, but I think you will be much happier with a C100. I have both and have had multiples of each, the C100 is a much better overall daily driver if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the advice, I think I'll take it. In a perfect world, I'll be able to get both but the prices speak for themselves. My main mission now is to find a C100 less than a million dollars :lol: I'll make a celebratory post if I ever get my hands on one
