Mura MCS-1919 - Pink Power!

[Zippy]

I've been wanting to post this one for a while First of all I want to express huge thanks to Chris and Reli who not only handled overseas shipment but also took care of several cosmetic and technical issues beforehand! The speaker grills had some rough dents but Chris took care of the dents like I wouldn't have imagined In another great deed Chris also exchanged the rusty and broken battery spring

There is still some work do though, like fixing one tape door hinge and treating the back case which has went strangely yellowish over the years.

Anyway, I really like this one! It's just so unique in color. But what makes me even happier is that the color isn't the Mura's only trait - it gets pretty loud and punches some proper bass!

Is it a 'She'? If so, She's very nice indeed - not..........'Barbie' but leaning more towards..............'posh Lady', not afraid of showing more than a little of her extravagant side and taste for the good life!

Yes, this wouldn't look out of place in Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce at all.

FRESH! I love it..
I noticed the yellowed back casing in the listing too.. Maybe when you take the back off, you can flip that handle back around..?

Wow, looks impressive and photo is nice -
Never seen this brand "MURA" before - is it aka of some bbx model or a separate one,
where was it made?

Made in Taiwan
AKA of many other models, including Helix HX-4634, Trident DX-6000, Seltec GX-555.
The funny thing is, the sun faded the rear case to light brown and the handle to white, but the front stayed pink. Maybe because the different types of plastic reacted differently to the sun.

But the inside is all pink, though:

I like the interior, so much more light reflective than darker colours.

Thanks, Reli, as for "the different types of plastic reacted differently to the sun" - I think so too.

Looked like they had been run over by a truck - really good restoration, yep.

BTW, which model is considered to be the first one, original, in this crowd?

I find the work on the speaker grills to be an impressive result, I know how much diligence is needed with this.
