Finally after almost 2 weeks wait my lovely RX5230 arrived in like new condition. When the mailman rang the doorbell no one at home heard it so I had to wait at the PO to find him and get the box.

Thanks Ira for notifying me about this gem CorafanRIP (Jens) is selling. :yes: :yes: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Thanks Ira for notifying me about this RX5230 I loved to have for years. :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:
Thanks so much Jens! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Jens, your description was so perfect and the box looks like it came out of an airport duty free shelf back in 1979. I bought it for a high price back then from Doha, Qatar during my travel. That was the most expensive item they had there for sale. It had a "18Watts Big Power" sticker on it.

Now I am enjoying this beautiful box. :breakdance:

I opened it up for a complete cleanup, lube, belt replacement and more love with cotton swab and microfiber cloth. The front speakers were all removed and gave a "Jimmy wash". :w00t:
The rest of the work I have to do in steps during my evening times at home.

I will post pictures later.

To me It is one of the best boomboxes ever made! :yes: :yes:

Every internal part is made so well. Super nice boombox!

I am giving it more cotton swab and micro fiber love. :-D :-D :yes: :yes: :yes:

More Deoxit Fader Lube 5 bath on contacts and detaled clean up to follow.

I am so excited... I never thought it will look this good. :no:

The chrome on the speaker rims came out like brand new! :breakdance: :breakdance:

:-D I spend several evenings after work and stayed awake till 3:00AM yesterday to clean it all up and put it back together. I took a day vacation to enjoy this beauty. :yes:

This is such a box with the RX7700 sound quality. :yes:

This model is very rare. No wonder I had to waith so long to aquire this treasure.
High quality build! :-O
I am glad I got it in very nice condition. It all cleaned up like brand new. :yes:

I love to have the red fonts BIG POWER 18WATTS sticker ove the cassette door. The cassette door latch is right above the door under the LEDs with soft release. I really like this mechanism. The box is very easy to open up and clean.


Box from Germany (from Jens) that I had to go to the local PO and get it. Luckily it arrived in fantastic shape
:thumbsup:

Hi Jeff,

Thanks bro! :yes:
:-D It looks like 5230 is from a newer generation based on the overall sound and built quality. That is what I think but I could be wrong.
:yes: :yes:

My friend had the same, which he brought from Bahrain. I still have its sweet voice in my ears.

I was also in the queue for this NP, since 1982 or so.
You have jumped the queue and taken it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
So far I have acquired a RX-5100, but 5230 is a class above.
