No I'm kidding about Outback Bill.
I for one was stuffed until I got home,an I just had a snack.
$60.00 for gas wasn't too bad considering the -15 degree cold and it was about 480 miles round trip........

 

[blu_fuz]

I wasn't hungry when I got home either seriously. That lunch she cooked for us was FANTASTIC man

 

[baddboybill]

Thanks guys like I said we loved having you guys and hope we can get together real soon

 

[Superduper]

Deal of the century Joe. If not the century, at least deal of the decade, and if not that, at the darn minimum, deal of the year!

Congrats.

 

[blu_fuz]

THANKS NORM!

I don't know about spending $400 on one of these, but DAMN are they sweet.


I turned it up to about 1/2 volume with my sony mp3 player hooked up and the speakers were barely moving but really get some slamming bass from this. I can't describe it, but it is a high-fi feeling setup that puts the beat right into your FEET!

I agree, Joe. I haven't heard the 2-speaker version, but the 3-speaker version is insanely good quality.

 

[hemiguy2006]

Great score. And spare parts to boot!!!!
That makes me want to try and get some parts for mine just to stockpile for the future.

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

WOW....$69 is a SCORE....Damn, is there a chance we might start seeing these used for good prices on eBay?

Hey blu fuz, that's a heckuva score you got there!

Just a thought about that power supply; I would definitely seek out a PSU that is spec'd properly to that boombox, here's why:

If that PSU is DC (direct current); the current rating (in amps) can be equal or even higher than spec'd, because DC powered devices only pull what current they need and nothing more. In AC (alternating current), the current is always constant so that's where you need to watch ratings. Since you are using one that is spec'd lower than what your boombox requires; the box isn't quite getting the juice it needs and you're also straining the power supply. In all probability it will work fine, but it is bordering on unsafe to run it like that too long, especially if you crank it up; because that's where the higher current draw will kick in.

Anybody who knows more about this than I do, please feel free to correct me!

 

[blu_fuz]

There are some 18v 1.7a laptop power supplies on ebay for really cheap, should I get one of those to use? That has to be close enough to the 18v 1.666a the box requires

You nailed it right on the head.

 

[bklyn sound]

thats a sick price...i spent 329 for the 3 speaker and that was agood deal until now..... congrats use in good health

 

[blu_fuz]

Thanks Jimmy - I just fixed it too, so I will start another thread about the repair..........

 

[blu_fuz]

After already working on one of these TDK boxes, I feel confident that I can get this other one going that I just won on ebay . When I open this one I will be sure to take pictures to add to my "how to get into a TDK boombox" thread .

 

[JustCruisin]

I seen you bidding on that last night.. Looks like you still got it for a good price!
