Hello,
As a young university student I regularly take all my boxes to parties and out on town for blasting. So far it has been great, not damage or any misfortunes. Until last night. I was on my way to a club, 5 m from getting out of a car the handle just snaps sending the box to the ground. Broke off just at the top so the handle piece is almost completely straight. It would have been fine for an M70 (however unlikely) or something cheap but this was the Toshiba 9990 japan only model, my rarest boomer :'-(
. So chances of finding a new handle are pretty much 0. Could you glue it back on ? are there glues that strong ? and then carry it with a strap around the body ? Replace the handle ? anyone done this before please give me some tips. Amazingly it still works perfect though, just some marks on the case and a broken cassette.
R.I.P. 9/10 condition bombeat
Maybe this is sign that I shouldn't have so many boomboxes and get so attached to them. Or I should just create my own ultimate super-boombox somehow. Or just buy an army of M70s..
This got a bit sad, in fact after picking up the boombox and having a sad half hour shedding a tear for my fallen boombrother I had a good night and was comforted by a gorgeous Norwegian. It's only a radio after all, there are lots more out there.
Peace
