I'm still in shock!

[skippy1969]

those big 3 way tele speakers sound tremendous --

----
and hey ramon - or anybody lucky enough to have a good set -
try them on any center section with big // clean power -
say the jvc pc5 or 55 -

and that combo is even alot more shocking than
used the tele center -- REALLY!!!

Hi,

So you're saying hook up the Telefunken speakers to a pc55? I'm going to try that, any chance of wrecking the Telefunken speakers?


Thanks,

Bytor

Sure,try it it won't harm the speakers........

You will be less impressed with with every other box from here on in.

Very nice.....I have one the same color. Inch for inch it is amazing, when you consider it isn't really any bigger than a midsize (just heavier). It is my only box that I don't need to leave the bass and treble maxed out permanently. In fact I remember someone on s2g saying he thought the brown ones (studio 1) have more bass than the silver ones (studio 1M's). I don't know if that is true or not, but I have seen different sized center caps on some of these models, so either the speakers themselves were different, or just the center caps (which would only be cosmetic).

What I heard is that a lot of these units ended up being used in pubs & other small businesses in Germany. It's definitely good enough to be used as a bedroom TV driver, as long as you hide it behind some cabinet doors so that the bright lights don't interfere with your TV viewing, lol.

The meter lights are easy to get to, so don't worry about that. Beware that the tuning meter is brighter than the VU meters, so if you want to lower its light output there is a thread on S2g somewhere about how to put a resistor on it. It isn't something I'm skilled enough to do, but it's worth considering. Seems like installing a fan might be another good idea, because these things get VERY warm along the front panel.

Thanks Reli,yes I replaced all four of my lamps,but my VU's are brighter than my tuning indicator VU.
Thats ok though as at least they all work now.
I wonder what this unit cost back when they were introduced?
Not cheap I'll bet........

Thanks Frank!

[skippy1969]

Sorry for the crappy lighting........
But the sound is great!
Enjoy........

Wow, first time I have heard one of those Telefunkens. Amazing sound for a portable unit.

Very unportable type of sound Louis.....
Probably the best sounding and well built box I've ever owned,no kidding........

 

[Ghettoboom767]

Nice find Scott!!
If I wasn't such a battery/outdoor person I would have one of these by now!

Very nice!
These sound incredible-I know!
have a great time with it!-GB.

It was not cheap at all Skippy, it was one of the most expensive bbox I think
Here is the old advertisements with a sales price. The price is in the German Marks.

That amount of 1,298 DM, by this "US-German Currency Conversion Tables, 1913-2005" was wort approximately $ 650 in that time.

By this calculator, $ 650 x 2,50 = $1,625 today

$650.00 thats a lot of ching........
