Heavy weight JVC!

Well I'm sure most will know right away where this gorgeous 4pc JVC PC55 came from. Thanks to Scott (Skippy1969) just picked her up today. Fully working and in darn good shape Scott really must have used deck cause it needed a good head and pinch roller cleaning and also head demagnetized. Now she purrs like a kitten This baby pounds and sounds so sweet and I just love the soft touch deck buttons and digital display. Very hifi portable for the 80's. thanks again Scott and I will be posting great member feedback

Great lookin' JVC Bill.

Thanks Bill,I'm glad you like it!
Yes I used the tape a LOT! on that box.
The best playing and recording box I've ever had.
But I admit I forget to clean that deck for you until you mentioned it.
I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks!

No problem Scott, It just sounded a little too quiet and mudded. But after and good cleaning and demagnetizing it sounded full and rich again Thanks Again

I've had two of these. One went to Germany and the other ended up with our fearless leader. I suppose I will have a third one day as they turn up quite a bit. Bill you will go nuts for this thing over time...trust me. One of the most powerful out there.

Congrats Bill!!

The 55/ 550 is one of the most powerful boxes out there and yours is so mint!!!

JVC's finest portable deck ever. Period

Good job on the deal gents! Question it doesn't look like the original backlight (maybe just the pic?). If it isn't where did you get the replacement lamp? I'm in the hunt for one

Fantastic Box Bill. Congrats to You and Skippy. I loved Mine and it was Tops in the quality department. My wife paid $2 for Mine and I sold it for a lot more than that. It stayed in the Boomboxery family, btw.

Thanks for the link Skippy I only need to replace one bulb in my 55. My 550 has both it's originals still bright but I should order 4 replacemnets just in case. Is this the correct one .250A Fuse AG3 12V?

Enjoy the box Bill!

BTW It looks like the fellow in the last pic sitting at the table is enjoying his radio
