I like the confident look of this BB, it's a pretty smart looking machine which the colour scheme exemplifies. I's still pleasantly surprised at just how many decent looking BB's remain in such good condition after all these years.

I agree, there is something about this box and all those buttons. It just pulls me in, but it doesn't look like a kids toy. It looks serious, professional.

shiat Chris, you're killing us man. All this globe trotting and now you go and buy my favourite bloody box!!

Absolutely killer box - I'm stoked to hear it sounds good too!!

Congrats!

Hey Relli, are the speaker caps on your example smaller?

AWESOME MAN, I have loved this thing from a far for so long too. I'm glad that it lives up to it's looks too. These are really reasonably priced and seem to come up on eBay.de often.

And yes, I love them huge dust covers!

Classy looking Stereo!

I agree!

It looks like it. I've seen 2 or 3 different caps on these. My Stag RR-1048 seems to have the same caps Chris has.

Stag, interesting....I wonder how many AKA's of this box there are. Still has all the features!

That is a super feature packed box, looks so good in black!

Yeah man, really great usable features. While in Germany I had 4 stations all programmed in, when commercials came on, I switched stations at the push of a button. You forget how great of a feature it is, not having to spin the dial and search

Wow,wow and wowsers!!! Killer box bro. Very classy alum.& black,what's not to like!? Congratulations!!!

Thank you, although I don't really collect multiples, I think I would like to have the silver one also

Very nice

Congrats on the score. Been wanting one of those for like forever.

WHAAAAA I can't believe you are missing this in your collection!

There's just do much to love ,
the cassette deck keys, the knobs, the speakers,the vu meter panel,the tuner section and plenty of others things that scream quality. fukin awesome machine. I love the out of the ordinary boxes because after collecting for so long its nice to know there's plenty out there yet to be discovered.

I almost forgot, I also scored this box of brand new reel tapes at the meet!

I really like this box as well. It is a no nonsense box that you can tell was built with pride. That's one of those boxes you can have a few beers and be like...yep...it's mine

P.S.- I like how they used the wording "Stand-By" in place of Pause. You don't see that every day along with Fe-Cr tape selector. If anyone has a type III cassette I bet that would be worth a lot unopened. That is unusual as well. I was expecting to see Normal / Cr02 / Metal

 

[caution]

The knobs (and buttons?) look like they're solid metal

Many of the late 70s boxes predate the tech of metal tape comparability. Eg Sanyo M9994, M9998 etc.

That makes sense
