[BoomboxLover48]

I love to have these two boomboxes.RX5410 and RF5310.

Just copied some pictures from the net.

Massive monos. A collector here in Bulgaria is trying to sell/trade 5140 recently. He is saying that 5140 is a beauty and big in live.

I think that Max have one RF-5310.
Send him pm.
Roman also have one, but that is for me

Okay.
I have a question for you mono-lovers out there, something I can't understand. No offence, but why do you collect monos? I mean, the purpose of a radio is to use it to listen to music right? But these tiny boxes surely cannot produce that much sound, it's just not physically possible with those small speakers.
I could see the charm and retro value, but do you actually listen to them regularly? I dunno, just seems to me that small radios just leaves you wanting more and better sound, as I am always disappointed by the lack of bass for example. This might seem like a stupid question as it is closely related to why I collect bigger radios. But I just couldn't imagine someone bragging about cranking up his mono for that favorite tune.

Peace

That's when You bring out the JVC RC550 with that tiny 10" woofer.

I got two RC550 in like new condition.
But I love to have a few more mono boxes. All just to remember the good old days.

Is that a good answer? Boomboxes of the past will give us the best time travel experience. Every boombox is so special to me.

I still remember the boomboxes that I loved to have at the duty free shops....and at Big markets....

Thank you The Box of Boom for posting teh ABBA group picture with the RF5410.



I listend to all of their songs....in my teen days...ABBA and .Boney M ... .....

Actually they were rocking the Monos at that period of time.

Having a RF 5310 when I was a teenager was a great thing but that day I saw an RC550 ......in real life......at an airport....I almost fainted. I was so depressed.

Royce, I have a couple of nice little Monos looking for a good home. A lovely Sanyo and a Centrex by Pioneer,I recently rescued for $1. Yours for free if You want them. They're complete and damage free. If not, I like them enough to keep them. They're cool

The 5410 is not a tiny sounding machine. It is quality and sounds big and deep and warm. It handles a LOT of volume output. And it's sexy. It's not the type of mono you might be confusing it with mr space lobster

Yeah thanks I agree with you, I guess I'm just not that into mono boxes (yet ). They are too old school for me (never thought I would say that ), I prefer the hip hop boxes of the 80s.

I think I was mistaken yes, judging from that picture I think I made a premature judgement . It looks cool as well, would love to hear one one day. I'm just used to seeing small mono boxes like alarm clock radios and stuff.

Peace

There's a rather nice SANYO M2448K on epay at the moment...looks like it's in good condition

I have a disco mono. Work blocks pic storage sites otherwise i would post a pic of it.

I have always liked the looks of the 5410

I think Sony also had a mono that looked like a smaller version of the JVC with a tweeter. Shoot i cannot remember what the model number was on it.

 

[baddboybill]

I have a few mono's... Two are the ones I had as kid and the other is from "The Goonies".

 

[erniejade]
