Owned the body of the same one before, but this one is including speakers.
Located in vienna, so i get it myself soon!

Almost looks like two boxes combined.
You'll have to plan for your corners when carrying that box.

Congratulaions! That's a stunner!!!

Roman, ever think about changing your name to "KING PHILIPS"?

Whoever's around that corner is gonna see that box... long before they see you.

 

[redbenjoe]

you will need to carry it vertically--
to avoid wiping out an entire family

I love those Fishers with the front loading CD. Was thinking of marrying a Fisher SLIM body into a Sharp VZ2000 where the turntable is.

[monchito]

thats truely a big sucka

 

[Retro Addict]

What better way for Philips to advertise that their cutting edge new model has a then state-of-the-art CD player, than plant it right in the middle of the box? I mean, who's going to miss it unless they're blind?! :sin: That surely must be the longest 'box ever!!

 

[eldorado]

i wait to see

romans extra long boombox !!!

 

[Ghettoboom767]

Hi Roman-That is really cool!! It's an extra long boombox!!
I've seen one of those before.
Very cool-Like Bobby said you can take out some people with this one! \
Nice looking to.
Have a great time with it-GB.

 

[Jovie]

That long-ness is caused by wanting to put everything on the front panel of that machine.I wonder why they decided to do that.Perhaps for that ostentatious "limo" effect.You'd think they'd at least have stacked the decks.Even so it makes this model a very unique and collectible box! A very good example of that '80s excess that gave us an infinite amount of models to collect and enjoy!

 

[eldorado]

its amazing ( bjorny thread )

!!! wowzies

 

[Ghettoboom767]

Sorry-I meant Ira's remark-not Bobby.

 

[ViennaSound]

Tomorrow @ this time i should have it @ home!

 

[ViennaSound]

Ok boys and !
Today i got it....

And it´s much better than expected!

Ther story?

Ok.
The guy bought it many years ago for his wife as christmas present.
After using a few days, it got a failure and was returned to the PHILIPS service center (personal memories growing up..).
The repair needed a few time and meanwhile his wife bought another boombox
So when the PHILIPS came back , it was stored away .... and simply forgotten!

And now after residence cleaning it came out again and no need for it.
So offered on ebay.

ViennaSound got it!

No boombox for cruising.
You would hit other people.

No scratches , condition like new (still it is).

Yeah baby, it´s long!

Including paperwork and cable!

CD check...

Still works!

Finally a sizecompare to the big one:
