I hate thinking about selling any of my boxes, but I need to come up with about $300 and quick......


1. Crown 950
2. Pioneer SK-550 custom
3. Lasonic TRC-975
4. Victor RC-M70


What would you sell and why?


I'm leaning towards the 975 because it could be easy to replace. I never use the custom blue pioneer sk-550. I never use the crown. And the victor is only 90fm and I have a m75 with the cool extra knobs/functions that the victor has.....

As I look around at my collection, I regret selling some of my radios from the past, some of mine are just worthless, but they are part of my "Display".

I guess I'm just not much of a seller :-/

M70's are dime a dozen.........there's at least 10 of them on Ebay every single week. Now, you say yours is a Victor, which I guess is more rare, but other than a badge, what's the difference?

Oh and the Crown 950, there's at least 2-3 of them on Ebay Germany every week.

I figured any of the 4 I could replace later. The lasonic and victor should get the most $$.

I do have:
Jvc m70
Victor m70
Jvc M71 gold
Jvc m75 gold

^ even though the victor is only 90fm and I don't use it much, it is still different than the other 3.

The lasonic is nice, but could be replaced and bring quick cash.

The pioneer I havnt used in 4 years and it is time to let it go, but it won't bring enough $ on its own so the crown would have to fill the void of the amount I still need to make.

I would sell the crown and the pioneer.
The Lasonic and Victor maybe harder to replace IN THE SAME CONDITION for the money you get :-)

If im selling because I want big cash and im never replacing the radios then its the Lasonic then Victor, if I just want quick cash and im replacing radios at a later time im selling the Crown and Pioneer.
I'd rather get a Crown 950 with a bunch of problems than a much more expensive Lasonic 975 with a bunch of problems

in the last 9 years since i learned to use a computer i only made a profit on 1 radio.i don't collect to sell i collect to own , i bought every beater known to man and at the end of the day i can't really say i'm happier with 30 boxes than i was with the 2 i started with back in 2001. i only sold any radio to either help someone or pay bills , i collect every kind of boombox not just the so called grail's , to me they are all boomboxes no matter the social or financial value. that's why i got so much shlt nobody want's , your too damn spoiled on these grails and miss out on the meat and potatoes boxes that made those grails look so good. just imagine if every box was a conion , dudes would be fighting over a panny rx 5050 like it was the rarest thing on earth.

my brother said it best , things are much easier to get than they are to keep.

for me its the crown.if you never use it anyway its not going to be noticed-however,not sure it would pull in your desired dollar amount matey-but it would help-plus you can obtain a replacement fairly easily in the future should you need to-good luck and hope you get sorted ;-)

Wise words right there Floyd (at least to me).

I recently posted my whole crappy collection. Not much in the grail department. But every radio has a story in my mind of how it got here.

I would LOVE to have an M90 or C100F, but more than anything, I want to be able to come here and post how I "Found It In The Wild". I still have dreams of stumbling into an old house, or finding one at the swapmeet or at an estate sale. When I read the stories posted here about stuff like that it makes me as happy as it makes me insane. Because I know they are still out there waiting to be found!

Yup the Crown, the fully working beauty is on its way to a new home.


Actually, I didn't box up the Crown, I sent the extra M90 I have so the new owner will be really surprised when he opens it up!
