Who has the prettiest cheapy?

[oldskool69]

They were both under $12.00 for the pair,so I think they qualify as "cheapys Ira..........

They have line in and other features...DISQUALIFIED!

OK before we go any further let's make the qualifier list
Cheapy must have:
1. fake tweeters
2. no stereo inputs for CD and ipod.
3.a tone knob instead of separate bass and treble.
4.?


Cheers OSS :afro

STILL disqualified! The cheapy can't have a walkman function and detachable speakers!!!

Too "deluxe".

 

[redbenjoe]

i think that skippy snob--
with his oh-so-elegant collection....

is not very competitive in this event

 

[Old school Scott]

got this cool sanyo m9830f for $2

Yes. Sanyo was king of some Cheapys!
Interesting grill for the fake tweeters.

I was concentrating on the part about it being the "prettiest.". Good thing most of the pretty boomers are/were cheap. Like this one:

 

[AZA]

How about this AWA... yeah it looks familiar

or if you want something in a nicer colour than just silver how about this
Sanwa in a dark charcoal

 

[oldskool69]

Tough competition here...

 

[redbenjoe]

AZA = eliminated

showing off 2 droolers

 

[Old school Scott]

How about this AWA... yeah it looks familiar

Are those fake tweeters?
If so then that's a mighty fine looking Cheapy!

Check out this absolutely gorgeous Venturer!
There is a better picture of it in Lyle Owerko's book.http://www.shizaudio.ru/audio/details.php?image_id=2928

Look closely:
Barely any controls at all
Fake tweeters
probably no inputs either

Cheers OSS

Here is a Hitachi that I found.
It has that classic look of the higher end Hitachis
and absolutely nothing else.
It is loud and not awful sounding though.

You may remember this one, I posted it a while ago.
Randix. It has interesting graphics, silver grills, individual volume controls
and nothing else.
besides the headphone jack, nothing goes into this one.
There should be no question at all of the cheapness of this model.
