Crown CSC-950L

[Retro Addict]

Happy new year to you all! 2011 has kicked off pretty well for me and you will see why!

This lovely box arrived a few days ago. I've been after one of these Crown's for ages, and am happy to own my very own 950, in my opinion one of the best looking boxes EVER.

Here's some pics...

Very nice! Love the tape door on those --- The scale is very unique how it's inlayed into the window instead of being attached to the outer trim.

Yes, it gives the door 'dimension'. It reminds me of the GF-777 doors, which also have the scale inside, but they're hinged. Classy.

I've got my 950 next to me now, playing various music on FM band, as I'm browsing the forum on my laptop...

Love this box, one day I will have one. Closest box I have is the crown 850 which is my favorite in my collection.

Oh yeah! Since I started collecting I always wanted to own a box that has lots of chrome, and the chrome around the woofers is really thick on this one! And like you said, the chrome round the tweeters is thick, I like the squareness of the trims and grilles. This box definitely wins points for design.

Also, thanks for all the great comments everyone, they're really appreciated. One of my favorite things about collecting boomboxes is being able to share my hobby with like-minded people on these forums.

Oh man thats a keeper, dont see many crowns over here at all and that ones minty fresh

This Crown started my collection and is still one of my favourites. Everybody should have one!
And its a good boombox for every day use. Good sound, good size and weight and not too hungry on batterys.
I used my 950 a lot the last two summers.

Wow this is such an old post. Think I've owned 3-4 of these Crowns since it was posted in 2011.
