Good flea catch- TRK 8180 & 8210

[stormsven]

Today is a good day at fleas. Ive been lookin another dudes here have a nice catch today too. For me - Hitachi TRK 8180E - not missing parts, workin radio, overall not so bad cosmetically, need rebelting and big cleaning . Second score - Hitachi TRK 8210 E - no aerial , but fully workin and originall sticker on the tape door . Soooo durty though - cofee spots and so on. The funny thing- the tape is workin but play is rollin wrong (opposite) way . Will see when open it. The rew and fwd are workin properly Missing mic knob.. Some nice tapes finds as well. The sun is commin and we are scorin .

The 8180 looks beefy, and the big VU's set it all off nicely.

Nice score.

Hey good work storm, I have the 8300 which is almost the same as that 8210. That 8180 looks like a real tank of a unit

They will get bath . The smaller one kick me. It sound descent too . Im really happy. Almost 3 months of collecting and have good pile of boxes now . mint 777, Super Jumbo (tanks to Blasterpunk with all parts), mint 9595, mint 515, Philips ART 60 like new (thanks to Vienasound for the tip), Trk 8180, (767 went to Max), and one more room full with cheapies and some nice ones just waiting for one more to make a good first three monhts . Thanks to all you guys for the info and encouraging. Need lot to catch tough . Waiting for the only one made here in Bulgaria bbx - Resprom 323 - ugly 7 kilos box, but special for me. My friend found it for me and will send it this days (its harder to find it than mint 777 it was around 620 bucks back then , not worthy for this money tough ). And found some more and waiting for shipping (one is real grail ). So im satisfied. And really happy im here on Boomboxery too . Thank You all. Deff nice place to be .

After some cleaning (two hours ) . For me any box with metal in the body is "must have" .

Its always nice to see, a dirty box giving a second chance. My guess is that if you haven't picked those two up, they probarly would've end up in the dumpster :'-(

Doubt it for 8180. The guy who was sellin it was pretty sure about the price and what is sellin. And later when i was carrying it a lot of other people on the flea was askin me about the price (it didnt came cheap tough) and congrats me. I think a lot of people would buy it just to have something to remember from 80's .
Thank you all for the nice words.
