How Long Have You Been a Collector
Nearly 3 years
What Got You Started collecting
I built a big shed (man cave) in my garden and being a pretty retro type of guy i wanted somthing a bit more "me" than an ipod dock.
So i bought an Amstrad 3 piecer on ebay and while looking for info on it i came across this place, i still remember the first collection pics i saw was nz-booms garage and that was it, i was sold on boxes.
What was the First Box You Got
Well i had a few cheapies when i was kid which i cant really remember but since collecting the first was an Amstrad 8090 3 piece followed quickly by a Hitachi TRK-8800 (my first 1 piece box).
How Many Boxes Do You Own
Currently i have 30 boxes, i would proberly like to get the collection down to maybe 20-25 max. If i had never sold any i would maybe have 45ish.
What Are Amoung The Favourites In Your Collection
My top 3 in reverse order are Audio Sonic TBS 8900 from ebay, my M70 from member StereoMad and in 1st place by a mile is my Rising 20-20 from member Stormsven.
Do You Have a box You Regret Selling/Trading
Mixed feelings on this, My Conion C100. Always regret selling a bit because it really was all i was hoping it would be and im unlikely to ever get another BUT i didnt really use it much and the guy who got is a total boombox nut, loved it way more than me and gave me a really really good deal.
Have You Ever Found a Great Box In The Wild (or for peanuts)
Ive got a couple of nice boxes from guys at work fairly cheap, but no, ive never found an M90 at a yard sale for £5
Is There Anymore Boxes You Would Really Still Like
Loads, but top of the list is a big lasonic or a discolite.
Bling or Bass
Bling. Lights, buttons, switches and chrome. But it does have to sound fairly reasonable or whats the point.
Have You Learned Anything since Collecting
Mechanically, very little, im totally clueless
Buying, be patient, try and get quality over quantity, only spend what you can afford.
Boomboxery and Stereo2Go are both great forums with funny, helpfull and generous folks
Also what on earth did i use the internet for before i got into boomboxes
Thanks all, hope you enjoyed the read
