Welcome to the club.

Congratulations.

Back in 1982 or so when I first saw 550, I couldn't believe the huge size of it when I compare to other mono boxes. I still have so much fun when I play it. It is a unique experience. I also got a mint 550. It arrived with a broken Antenna stub and got one from member Sony-apm-fan all the way shipped from Australia. Thank you so much sony_apm_fan.

 

[stormsven]

Damn love it even more today . And never realized that this monster have a proper line in over the radio .
Thank you all

The day I saw JVC RC550 back in 1978-1982 or so at the airport, I almost fainted. I had a "huge" mono National Panasonic RF-5310
at that time and thought that is the biggest boombox on the World.

Every time I bring my RC550 out. I remember the good old days when RC550 was the KING!

......to enjoy the boomboxes we have to make a time travel to the past.... and enjoy what you have now...

The day I lose the love for these boomboxes, I am a dead man walking around.
