Hey guys just thought i'd show my latest score, its an RX-DT680. got it off ebay oz for $60, a work mate lived near the seller and i couldn't be bothered going that far (lol) so he picked it up for me and brought it to work, had it jamming all day while at work. i'd heard nothing but good things about these so soon as i saw it on ebay i jumped on it, sound is very nice, has such nice bass for its size and even came with the original remote and the simple design of the box looks dead sexy!, the seller had owned it since new which i thought was pretty cool.
everything works on it except for the CD, it spins up the CD but won't play just sounds like its skipping or trying to load it but can't do it. even the tapes work which i was suprised about.
cosmetically its not too bad, has a couple scratches but no broken bits etc, just has abit of white paint spatter which ive managed to get some off already.
only question i have is with the antenna, could someone post up a pic of theirs? mine looks odd, it sits straight up and you can't fold it down to clip it in, i unscrewed it and its just a straight antenna theres no joint or anything so it can fold
also i didn't realise these didn't have line in, which was a bummer, i could use mic mixing but it didn't sound all that great through that, how do you guys use your ipods etc with these? or do you just use mic mixing?
heres some pics
Cheers.

I had one brand new when they first came out and have one now with remote and all. By the way, if you can get the CD going, take a data disc say an old one like Microsoft 2000 or an original XP disc and put it in the CD. Plug your mp3 player into the CD out. Hit play. Your CD out will act like a line in!

Boooooooo!!!!
