Info on Tokyo Conqueror

[Zippy]

Hey guys,
Can anyone give me some information about the Tokyo Conqueror?

I can recall a member posting about this or an aka but couldn't find anything...

Thanks
Though it's kind of sad to hear these are cheap and not that big.
There's a black one with silver tuner scale, mid and top section on ebay Germany which looks marvellous But 250€ BIN is waay too much

I think it looks cool tape deck over speakers each side - bunny ears - big nobs - chrome surrounds

so it's not that big or and a bit cheap - but that ain't a thang

 

[Zippy]

Yeah, if I ever come across one for a decent price I'll buy it without hesitation

 

[gsbadbmr]

I would love to have one of those...i guess i'll keep looking

 

[Reli]

But 250€ BIN is waay too much

And then there's the PH-490 for 1300€

 

[Gluecifer]

Yeah! These ROCK! Love this model and it's variations.
.. and all the variations I've seen thus far I MUCH prefer to the one I have.

Tokyo Conqueror has to be the most BOSS name ever!!!



Rock On.

i have exactly the same machine badged as a daewoo-having probs with the tuner on mine but ive been inside her and the dreaded cap disease looks to have set in-wierdly enough if i crank the volume and flick along the wave band i can just about get radio 1 only????ive said it before on other posts but i love this model.the looks,and even the sound are right on the money....and bendy they are quite big,man-emagine if you will an hitachi 8600 and youre not far off-a fraction bigger if anything-and surprisingly well made and heavy-mine has wierd factory applied decals in the back all in what i think is korean-because the daewoo was made in korea rather than say,japan.has anyone got an idea as to the date these were new?by the looks and build quality i would put it right at the first part of the 80s-81-83.bendy my old bike loving brother if you can catch one of these you should-sounds like prolly something like a gf8989 or perhaps a little better.see what you think

yeah mine is the daewoo rcs-902w....anyone else in boomboxland got the daewoo version?i agree with bp to some extent whereas the sound isnt massive on it i see it as pleasent enough for me,but i prefer the sound of something like my 9494 to it but the look of the daewoo/tokyo conqueror/brandt/emerson etc etc etc cant be ignored....its tasty

 

[floyd]

hate the knobs

love the box

even if the sound was just ok i would grab the somebitch if i had a chance
i'm sure there's something that can improve the sound .
and replace those damn knobs and you got a killer conqueror .

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

I think that radio looks......


AWESOME

Even in Black it looks great!

That could be the best name for a radio I have ever heard! (of course I'm a HUGE Godzilla fans )

Even if it was just wall art, I would own one....I had never seen that before.

hate the knobs

...but the size/scale is great!
