Guess the rare box!

[Northerner]

I'm always impressed when someone can guess a box from one button, the battery door, or a screw hole!...but I'm kinder than that! So can you guess the make and model from a picture of the whole box...but from the inside

 

[im_alan_partridge]

I know, i just saw it "next door"

 

[Northerner]

Ha ha no telling!! Was probably stoopid to put it on both at the same time lol

Well it's a domestic UK one and I have a fair idea which, as I used to run one of their cars as daily transport:

Difference is that BL didn't flog the cars of that brand name through club books and the company that sold the box in the UK did, though it also appeared as a Spinney, an Alba and possibly others.


(Get you lads above, almost the same post count! When the numbers are the same does one of you dematerialise?)

Ok I might've known you'd know instantly John lol

I knew that my fascination with sensibly priced mail order portable radios would serve me well some day!

Oh yeh! But I've spouted that number of posts containing mainly drivel in a fraction of the time lol

It's a pretty obscure super-power to be honest

Ok so it's a Triumph SRR5000. Proper line in, led vu's that flash like crazy, Dolby, proper tweeters...not bad for a small box

 

[Beosystem10]

Damn! That's sweet with a capital F. Love it! It reminds me of the Ferguson 3T18 except that the Fergie has a digital display for the tuner and a few more knobs to play with:

Point 1, a Dolli

point 2, i can never imagine any Alba looking as nice as that Triumph

point 3, Simon and i have an agreement to try and keep the Southern and Northern drivel to equal amounts , other wise England will sink

 

[Beosystem10]

England is sinking already, look at my current avatar!

Lol...no North South divide here...we both talk crap lol

As for the Triumph a good clean and respraying the silver grills gloss black made a huge difference...not bad looking now

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

Thought it was a Toshiba

 

[Brutus442]

I know, i just saw it "next door"

Guilty as well

That yours? Another GE AKA, but with digital tuner ......nice!

 

[redbenjoe]

i had an ITT --looked just like that triumph --pretty box-

and triumph made some cool motorcycles too

 

[oldskool69]

I couldn't guess it so I simply said to myself...Bollocks!

 

[Beosystem10]

Bollocks!

@ Reli; no, the Fergie in the picture isn't one of mine, it's a picture that I borrowed from an image search but if anyone has one of those taking up space, collecting dust and looking at odds with their home décor feel free to send it my way, it would find much love here!

Your avatar cracks me up John...wonder if its this same bloke
