My real bulgarian grail

[stormsven]

A while a ago i found one of the rare entirely made in bulgaria boomers. But since im collecting ive always wanted the dark charcoal version. It is really rare. The story behind them - they was damn expensive back in the years ( all explained here in the old tread for who is interested of some communistic boombox history :

Absolutely love the stelt version. Really happy to get hands on one of them. And complete (just front metal plate is missin but anyway i love the more stealthy look) . Now will give this bad boy a good bath and service. Its not a really big deal for other collectors i know. But for me is -

I like to agree with RBJ when he agrees with Floyd I think it's cool. The old style knobs, etc. are nostalgic. Is it just me? Or does it look longer than the Silver one when side by side. Very glad you found your grail brother. That's what its about for all of us afterall. Cheers

no ugly!
Love it

and not looking like a communistic one.
It could also have been any western oldskool one

btw: just got an RFT Steracord from eastern Germany.
Loaded with features, but everything on it tastes crappy.
But i also like it

Thanks to all. Actually they are build like a tank. All controls are sturdy and have good feeling. The sound is not bad either. Have double FM scale and can get the TV reception sound signal too. The tape deck motor is feeling like cant stop it - so powerful. Actually i love em. The one will get good service and is goin to be my new "yard" box
They both seen a harsh years and still fighting. Thats the real deal .

The manufacturer is well known here. Use to made all kind of electronic - TVs, HIFI, and so. Have some really good collectable HIFI stuff too. All was freely for buying. But those boomers were so expensive back than. Thats the reason they are hard to find now. With same amount of money we were able to buy a lot better Japan made boomer . The official currency level back than was around 0,67 leva for one dollar. And you can see the back plate on those boomers with fixed prices - 465 leva . It was crazy. No idea why the've made that but those are the facts .

It is saying : "Price for 1pc 465 lv"
