62 portable radios?!?!?!?!?!

"Most is in good or better condition, I avoided junky looking.Sony, Aiwa, Panasonic, JVC, Toshiba, Sanyo, Teac etc.. "

^ never mentioned Conion/Clairtone, Lasonic, or many other good brands

the guy still has about 20 late 80's early 90's boomboxes and cheaper mono boxes . he does have some excellent walkman's for sale but if i went back with 40 bucks i could clean him out of everything , he has all this stuff collecting dust in his basement and just want's it gone at almost any crazy low price . he sold all the better radio's on ebay.

40$ instant collector...62 boxes in one shot

Looks like all entry level boomers, but still fun!

i almost walked away before i noticed the magnavox and the kings point and i gave him $1.50 each for those
he has so much stuff i'm sure there's something i missed but i can go back any time .

DAMN! I could have used that PC200 about a week ago.
I needed a deck.....

I have the Toshiba aka of that Kings Point, and it's no slouch at all, it's a good carry box with line in.

Pretty good haul there Floyd!

Guess the owner has cats. That Kings Point looks like it's took a few tomcat loads! Nice score for sure for the money though

no cats but 3 chiuhuahua's , i think it's just normal rust because these boxes are filthy but don't smell bad at all.

Looks like Floyd can now host his own mini-meet all by himself.

fred sanford would call that the annual junk men of america convention.

Not if you go back and get that JVC PC-thingamajiggy.

 

[monchito]

this is the one

 

[Matrixambience]

hilarious! I wouldn't call that Panasonic RX-5050 entry level by any means.That radio is better than any lasonic in build quality alone. Nice haul anyways....

Hi Floyd,
Congratulations on hitting the boombox jackpot!
Some nice finds indeed!

 

[baddboybill]

Cool find Floyd

Yeah! the 5050 is a scrappy, loud as hell box!
I had a lot of good memories with that box. I miss it along with my 5085.
Cool haul!
