I agree, for it's size, it hit's pretty hard and it clean while doing it. Plus it looks great!SLO said:2 nice additions to compliment the boom room! That Sears & Roebuck impressed me at the last meet. Its a sweet sounding radio for sure
Member Dr DER had the bigger one at the meet 2 weeks ago and it's impressive.redbenjoe said:yup - thats sears model , just like the big 8" goldstar are our " poor mans M90s "
as for your vinix score --we all agree
" there is NO substitute for a VINIX "
Ira, years back you praised the lil Vinix, but not until I heard member Fresh Produce's did I really want one.
Thanks Bill, I know you have had everything under the sun at one time or another.baddboybill said:
While I was cleaning the Vinix, I pulled the knobs and noticed they are cut to be like a prism. They shine in a disco ball manor which add's to the dimond effect of all the chrome. It all just works so well, all in silver or chromeduckman said:
To be honest, I haven't heard it yet. It's a 220v box and it was so filthy when I unpacked it, I went straight to cleaning. The pictures don't show how much this little guy needs. It's going to be a full tear down 100%. Yet another project!Reli said:
I have heard Peter's (Fresh Produce). He has the one with round speakers, a clock and a few more features. But his was impressive. For it's size, possibly one of the better sounding boxes. Actual bass!blu_fuz said:
But we will see. I'm going to try to work her back into a gem.
Congrats Chris on some mighty fine looking boxes!Lasonic TRC-920 said:Finally added a VINIX to the ol' collection! It only took 6+ years

That Sears box looks like a real beast. Are you going to try and find some new knobs to replace those 3 non original control knobs?

Ha ha, i was waiting for someone to catch me. Yeah, the goal is to search for something. I put some 777z knobs on. Better than nothing.
You got any spares?

Unfortunately Chris I've never owned or seen Vinix in person 👎. Hopefully someday 😄. She is beautiful though with all that chrome 😎

The top keys (3 on each side) are a mix of flat and chrome, the tape keys are all chrome. The thought and detail that went into them is amazing. Just so the would reflect back like glitter, almost the same way the Sharp GF-8989's speaker surrounds are. Like a diamond.Reli said:
Thanks, the camera cleans it up another 25%BoomboxLover48 said:
I'll be opening her up and poking around very soon. 
WOW Bill. When ever I think of you or Norm, I just think you have seen it all at one point in time or another. You guys are always the go to for questionsbaddboybill said:
