My Sankei

[Retro Addict]

Hi folks, just thought I'd share a couple of new pictures of my Sankei TCR-S90. I love it!

 

[goodman]

Congrats!!!! Looks so good!!!!

Nice one! Are those strap hooks on the side?

 

[Retro Addict]

Thanks goodman. Yes k2j, I plan to buy a strap for it sometime in the future.

Dual headphones, metal, auto-stop. What's not to like?

What would you compare the sound to? Love the color. Always good to get a change from gray one-piece boomers .

 

[im_alan_partridge]

I love these and every AKA it has. Yours looks in great shape, well done

I would compare the sound to the Sharp GF-9000, but the bass is a bit punchier than the Sharp. A previous owner fitted replacement speakers from a Hitachi 3D80 or 3D88, the bass woofers.

As for the colour, I love the dark green colour in the tuner window, and along the labels below the cassette decks, so different to what you normally see.

Thanks!

Thanks! Ever since I joined the stereo2go site back in 2006, I also loved the look of these boxes. I bought this one last year, it was a long time coming!

They're not the best quality or best sounding box out there but I think they look great! That's the main thing!

Yours is mint! Wow. Nice buy.

NICE! These are great "Carry All Day" boomers!

I got a strap from Blu_Fuz for my Toshiba AKA of this radio. It makes it so useful.

Your's looks fantastic!

 

[oldskool69]

That ia a very classy looking box. Dig it!

 

[Reli]

Very cool! I like the LEDs and the tweeter grills. Needs a bigger volume knob though.

Thanks Chris!

I just noticed Blu_Fuz left a comment before yours. I'll have to send him a PM about a strap.

Yeah Reli, the meter's so bright!

The thing's I like about this box is, it's size a weight. It's got the looks of a BIG radio, but it's got the weight of a light mid size.

Plus, when you're walking with the strap on your right side, the volume knob is in the perfect position for your hand to reach.

Also those strap mounts are so tough. You have all the confidence in the world it's not going to break and fall. and of course the Blu_Fuz straps are high quality and don't break. I have basically road tested them to the max! If the strap or the rivet or the mounts were going to break, they would have done it by now.

You do have to take this radio apart to put the strap on though.

Yeah Reli, the meter's so bright!

That is another great point of these radio's. The LED's are bright and you can see them during the day.

Mine is a top 10 user. It get's out of the house and off of the shelf more than allot of my collection.

 

[blu_fuz]

Chris, would it help if this strap was maybe 12" longer because the box is so big???

 

[Terry]

Great radio.

I think Chris has a variation of my Japanese version Toshiba.
