Mitsubishi Jeagam JR-8000

[Hisrudeness]

Got this unusual box with some help from a great member here. I don't think one of these has been posted on here for a while.
It's a Mitsubishi Jeagam which I think is a Japanese only model. 100v only and 14w.
It's not an out and out beauty but I think it has an interesting look. Nice meters and traditional shape. I've put a picture next to a GF-9191 for scale. Beautiful clear sound for a smallish box. It has a weird ball and socket type aerial which will be hard to find I guess.
Showing a little bit of wear and its in that kind of Dreadnought grey which means it doesn't look dramatically different before and after clean up. There is an 8200 version that has a digital clock.

Nope, never seen that one before. I thought it was smaller when I first saw it.

Looks good though, worth saving

Nice chunky looking box. Can you put up a pic of the antenna mount?

Here you go Alan.

Thanks, I will take a boo in storage as I am positive I had one like that (the ball type), but I think it may have been purged at time of divorce, ugh. At least we know what we are looking for though.

That's a sweet box Rory never seen it before, love where the needle vu's are located. Very cool

Nice, something is very familiar about it but I cant put my finger on what right now. I'll be back h34r:

Very cool, congrats! Just needs a glow tube around the tuner dial.

 

[Hisrudeness]

Ahh! Yes the tuner dial has a light.

Smart looking BB if ever there was one and is much bigger than the first image indicates, I particularly like the broad tuning display.

I feel like it looks very similar to an M50. Cool looking radio.

like it alot - must be extreme rare bc have seen only one post ever about this on the old s2g -

I like it, very unusual to see a Mitsubishi box so worth it just for that. Plus I actually think it looks pretty badass with the black grill and battleship grey. Nice catch Rudey.

OK, After much digging here is what I have. There are 2 and they are off an old Sony Trinitron.

Antenna length is 7 inches to the ball retracted (5/16 dia), 12-1/4" first section out (1/4" dia), and 43" total.

Ball mount shaft width is 1/2" and just over 1" in length. Don't know if this will work but I knew I had that type somewhere, lol.

Sorry for crappy pics





Cheers
