What next...

[ldairforce512]

I´ been collecting now for almost one year. I think I got all my favourite boxes now... I think not! That hobby is really special. I'm a fan of this forum. Always new stuff to discover. Thank you guys!

 

[MyOhMy]

It's nice to hear you have the collecting bug and, if I may ask, would you be so kind as to post some pics of your (almost) invisible cool shelving, please?

 

[ldairforce512]

Yep. I´ll make some pics as soon as I´m home tonight.

Nice collection!

 

[ldairforce512]

Thx. It cost me a lot of time and money to get them working as they did 40 years ago. But I´m happy! Now I´m recording tons of tapes with my decks and feed them daily with them. All around me want me to consult a psychologist

Those are some of the nicest sounding boomboxes ever. Those Aiwas and Sanyos sound like warm, golden honey!

 

[ldairforce512]

Yep.... What I want to do now is to get the US/EURO version and the JAP versions of the JVCs , Aiwas and Sanyos. I got it done with the RC-M70 and the 880/J88. And if luck strikes... a Victor / JVC RC-M90.
Fatdog thx for having boomboxery.com


Here some shelf details:

Pretty cool shelves. Is that something you fabricated or bought?

 

[ldairforce512]

I bought 20 or so for a reasonable price a couple of years ago here in Germany...not knowing for what purpose...

Nice collection and I must say unique shelves as well for sure

 

[Brutus442]

Impressive collection and display!

Are those shelves attached to the studs or just into the drywall? Those boxes can be deceptively heavy and pose a real challenge for some free floating shelves

 

[ldairforce512]

All You need is a brick or concrete wall.... The shelfs are labeled for 35 lbs, so enough for most units.

Fantastic collection, you certainly have a thing for Aiwas. I have one or two of the boxes you have and fully appreciate the road you are travelling

 

[ldairforce512]

Thx mate. Yep they are special, hard to come by and nice sounding units. But my fav. box was, is and will be the M70 in all it variants...
But I did find an answer to my initial question... Lets get some SONYs......

 

[Fatdog]

I really like that chrome hand statue. Where did you find that?

 

[ldairforce512]

From a yardsale. It was given to dealers to promote the BASF chrome tapes in the 80ies.

Very nice collection. I'm blown away,no small fries there. Only quality boxes. I think with your good taste a Panasonic rx-5350 would fit nicely into your collection. Keep up the great work on your boom room.👍👍

 

[ldairforce512]

Yep buddy...the Nationals/Panas are , guess what .... also on my list. I really like them but they are the hardest to get here. Hopefully i can manage to get a descent CFS-66 and 99 within the next months. And then I‘m done! Maybe...

 

[MyOhMy]

I like the hand, it's purdy cool.

Here's another handy thing I found:
