I know about a Aiwa and a Blaupunkt carry combo system. I just found a new case for the Blaupunkt unit - I gonna upload some pictures when this, my biggest carry combo, is complete and ready to play!

Thanks and best wishes
TOM

Yes - the Clarion is a car hifi system. They offered a case and a transformer to this system so you can use it at home. Clarion wrote in their broshure that this unit is as good as a big home stereo system ...

No, the Hitachi and the Blaupunkt are different systems.

Also the Blaupunkt case is much bigger (just found & bought exactly this case which is shown on your picture - the antenna is a car antenna, and the cover so air can get in to cool the amp is a Blaupunkt car-speaker cover! Very simple, but a hand made wooden case in excellent quality. Would love to know the price when new / for the case and the Blaupunkt Stereo system).

Very nice, Tom!

I would love to see that girl from Blaupunkt ad schlepping around that monster case. :lol:
Oh and my favourite is your marantz with horn style speakers! :drool:

Which one of these work on batteries? If I remeber correctly there was a 12V version of the Aiwa Carry Compo...

Battery:

Kenwood:
yes, but just for the head unit - you can't use the big amp, just the small amp in the head unit with the 2 built in speakers. Sound is very poor, but with the amp and the big speakers it's a real Hifi-unit!

Hitachi:
no battery don't know if it got a 12 volt input - just put it back in my storage again ... nice sounding unit!

Wega:
no, but it has a 12 volt input for all components / here is the option to put a accu-pack in the storage (saw that once, worked fine). Sound is very strong and powerful (by the way: I got one of these Wega units for exchange, if somebody is interested in send me a PM)

Marantz:
Yes, you could see the battery pack. The highlight are the ACTIV-horn speakers which sounds realy great. It's very small, as high as a pack cigarettes. (also here: got a second unit, without the flightcase for trade ...)

Panasonic:
for shure all of you know these unit - very popular one. It's for full outdoor use, 70 Watts of music-power and a lot of mix and echo possiblilitys makes this one to a mini PA-system.

Mars:
no, this is a home hifi unit with built in Wega-speaker system. 100 Watts of music-power can't play with a battery. Strong sounding unit and heavy as a rock!

Clarion:
no, but also here is a 12 Volt input.

Kenwood:
yes, this is a Walkman-speaker-combi (not activ speakers) and plays very clear with a great stereo stage. Would it have a more bass it would sound as a mini-hifi-combo.

Blaupunkt:
not shure if this one got a 12 volt input - just have the flight case now (the most important and rare thing). I will open a new tread when I finished this project with a soundcheck and photos.

But know back to my question:
Who own a carry combo which isn't in my collection - looking for infos about all different, other typs!

Best wishes - TOM

- The Mars was also available silver colored (I saw it once) but it didn't look as cool as the black one ...
- I can't tell you if they are running just on 220 volt - I just put them all back in my storage - sorry!

Nobody out there who owns a other type of carry combo? So is this the end of my carry-combo collection and it is "complete"? :huh:

If you call this a carry combo.... :-/

It's a true component system, but it's not in the same league.....

I also own this unit, it's the Siemens (Sanyo) RS 806, the biggest unit they ever produced. Sounds good, just a bit bass is missing - for my taste. Never hear the Sanyo, same unit but with a other speaker system. It's a classic 3-piecer, but not what I would call a carry combo. For my understanding a carry combo must have a separate box, a case which is around the combonents ...

But thanks for your upload!
Best wishes - TOM
