Hollaaaa!
Hiya, I'm UltraNEO from the northwest, completely new around here. I figured there's no easy to way join a community other than come say hi! - shyishly.. lol
I would have to say I adore music, without it I don't think I would of been so successful during my college years as an art student. Nowadays, I have an love affair with technology both old and new but mostly it's computing hardware; occasionally I've been known to tinker with electronics, purely to experiment/repair or restore something treasurable. Anyway, I joined the community to seek more info and possibly contribute.
Since birth, I have always had access to my family's Sanyo MR-416, from a far it looks like someone ran a tape recorder into some teak and it stuck. However, it wasn't till recently did she past it to me for keeps. It's still fully functional without crackling tone knobs, however it's in retirement now. From my brief online search, very little is know about this boombox other than it's extremely rare!! Anyone here have one? Who'd like to see more photos?
(- Dunno does this count.. lol)
My first boombox was the awesome Hitachi TRK-7620HC purchased from the electrical department in Boots, all those many years ago. Unfortunately this beast was stolen from my home after a burglary For many years after I kept the packaging purely to store books, unfortunately without thinking it's been discarded as recycle paper - Yes, I'm now kicking myself cause I know there would be people who'd love to obtain it to make their system feel more complete.
Recently acquired a couple of those fantastic Hitachi boxes (photos will be posted as soon as they arrive) though to be perfectly honest, I didn't buy them to collect but to access to my extensive audio collection which just doesn't sound the same when digitized.
