PHILIPS D8434, back to life

[ViennaSound]

In my storage was the same box, max brought me from Berlin.
First i only wanted to part it, because tape not working, buttons missing and very dirty

But i liked this unit very much from the meeting
It´s a perfect cruising box.
So let´s open it:

It´s quite easy to work on it.
The tapedeck holds only with clips and ist screwed down with the backside of the box

The servocontrolled tape is nice

Ok, together now.
But the missing buttons looks

Hey, nearly forgotten.
Found on flea an big rampaged amp with the same buttons...

left tapedeck is dead.
So take off 2 buttons...
Fits!
And a big clean up.
Here it is:

But i want a littlebit an new style. :sin:
So wait a moment....

 

[ViennaSound]

Seen that NIPPON box with the arrows in the speakers.
Love that style.
So...

Here comes the Super Sound

arrows are the "S"

and the rest in blue

here we go

hm , the blue is a little weak...

so with a littlebit white adding

also the mics and the holes are now black
Out in the sun:

comparo with the "max" box

It´s no good painting job.
But just for a little more fun on the streets.

Good job Roman!
Your lucky you were able to find spare keys that fit!
I guess it pays to have a big collection!

Just noticed the bolts! Very creative!
I didnt realize it was supposed to be the "S", I thought you must have wrote in your language!

 

[MasterBlaster84]

It's a Bolt Box. Um wait a minute I think I've been duped.

Nice work Roman, definitely adds cool character to the box.

Nice work Roman, definitely adds cool character to the box.

Once the white outline was added to the blue, the letters really "popped."

EPIC WIN!!!!

Hello all, i'm new here. We had a little talk with Roman about this box on OTHER site, but maybe someone would like to see my mod's version here to. Here's the pic:

Interesting idea and nice job, Roman, btw.

 

[redbenjoe]

welcome -
and your mod is gorgeous

 

[Fatdog]

Yeah, welcome Alasondro Allegre. The Philips also looks very natural in black. Well done.

 

[Terry]

Both boxes are very nice!

I wish I had a Philips to mod.

 

[ViennaSound]

Yeah, welcome on board!
That black version is genious.



maybe i try the same with the 2nd box.
And with silver colored speakers...

 

[ViennaSound]

Ok, inspired i must do something.

Beautiful work!!!

 

[Superduper]

Wow, homemade bolt boxes. That is so cool.

 

[Jovie]

You've inspired me! I'm sure I have something in my collection I can repaint in a creative way.Very good work!

 

[Gluecifer]

Fantastic mods there!

More boxes need lightning bolts!! That's for sure!

Can't wait to see your next creation, Roman.



Rock On.

Well done again, Roman. I had little nice touch with Austria yesterday. A beatbox band Bauchklang were performing at one local lithuanian festival. We had lot's of cool artists there, but that quintet was simply off the chain!
