Just got me my first GF777 and GF9000

[ClaretBadger]

Got them in a trade deal with another collector

Did a trade on 4 of my boxes - curiousity made it easier to part with some of my bigger boxes

but as I have not had a 777 or a 9000 - I figured it was time to sample the hype and time to enjoy the look and sound of these monsters


first impressions

the 777 is a motherhumping monster - and the subs really work

The 9000 isn't as bad as I imagined either


pics to follow

Top notch, Nick!! Welcome to the 777 club. Looking forward to the pics.

MORE PICS!

 

[ClaretBadger]

Thanks D

I had to give away 3 boxes for the 777 - I know they command respect (due to size) - but I was a little skeptical, but damn it, it just goes one louder!

- in case you're curious on the exchange rate - I gave away a Philips 8644 (personal grail only recently acquired), Crown CSC850 and a Hitachi TRK 8600 for the 777

and I gave away my avatar Telefunken for the GF9000

Swapping is so much better than handing over "dirty" cash



I do however need a battery cover for the 9000 - as it has a non original one
The 9000 is a better quality 850 by the sounds of it

ho ho ho!

Congrats mate. Any collector must have in some time 777 and 9000. I think you made a good trade

 

[Jwrok707]

Congrats, those are two very nice boxes!

Loving your 9000! Congrats.

Love that 9000!

I also need one........

 

you did real good there badger........congrats and welcome to the club.....well saying that my 9000 has just gone to australia.....

 

[ClaretBadger]

It was a good deal both ways

My Crown, Hitachi, Philips and 'Funken were all in greats in my collection/eyes

I am well happy just to be in the 777 club - it wasn't really a model I was interested in

But I stand enlightened - it sounds as BIG as it looks

Great deal you made. Very sweet lookin' 777 and 9000
Although some people don't like the 9000 , i still like mine a lot.
I did a lot of SW listening with the 9000 the last days. Very good performer on SW for an analog tuner
Almost as good as the Grundig satellit 700

Didn't you have two 9000's anyway?

After watching the YouTube post for roman I do like the Philips 8644
If would have been hard to do the trade

 

[ClaretBadger]

it was VERY difficult as I had only just got it
and it was a personal grail I have ;longed for


but in this game of collecting boxes that I play - it is about patience not money

good trade for both of you.

love my 777s.....just wish they were fully working
