    And then there was talk about walkmans. Well in most of these plastic tubs are my bachman and in that big container on the floor. If I can get this in one picture is My selection of approximately $10,000 worth of walkmans that all need belts and that's a couple of d6 and a couple of d6c and WM 800* 2 and some other models I can't remember but I'll take a picture 17185645398531228224043099676854.jpg
    Now let me get out that bigger container on the floor bottom and take a picture briefly of what's inside of it. 17185645398531228224043099676854.jpg 17185647295021054973964791690489.jpg
    Yeah I'm just so many things to work on right now. I'm in the middle of a c100 FJ rebuild. I'll show you a picture of that and then I got to go back to it 17185648277736648300180553719100.jpg
    I have a few more big boomboxes to work with or repair but I could be here all day taking pictures so I'll let this be for the time being and I am not really interested in keeping these items. I do have a few select favorites but I'll post about that elsewhere. I basically bought these to repair play and then then make a little money with not the ridiculous amount that you see them. I'm going for on eBay but still somewhat expensive and I can't think of that. Guy's name starts with vladimir or not. Vladimir Pulaski I don't know what his name is. He's an eBay. He's got them out there. Listed $2,000. Plus that's just crazy. I think I'm planning on selling mine for half that because I want to move them okay enough spoken. decentman4you2007@gmail.com this is my only email address, not the one that's in this website. That's one I can't access. It's a long story. And I'm having fun using my pixel 6A phone because again that's all I have to take pictures with. So bear with me. My name is James Pierce for those of you that don't know.

    See I just scrolled to the bottom and saw that this is about home audio stuff. I don't have any home audio. Well I do but none of it set up because I have all these Cotton picking boomboxes.

    Okay here's a few I guess. Home audio but they're in the closet because I don't use them that often. 17185658783139186768883482913489.jpg
    And here is the floor standing 11-in woofer AR-58 s. Of which the other matching model is back in the other bedroom my room, and me. 17185657356863334792196051245387.jpg
    Yes the surrounds have been repaired once.

    My goal is one day to sell off enough boomboxes so I have enough room to get this receiver out of the box and hook up my home stereo stuff. But right now I don't have enough room because I have so many boomboxes. So here's a picture of my brand new in the box. 130 w* 5 channels receiver. 17185662559042101299456848363277.jpg
    I think I have three or four more sansui receivers that I bought used and then I have some integrated amp and then of course I have car stereo. I have about 7 Alpine amplifiers, but that's another story.

    Dammit.. You have 2 W800 Walkman's, that has to be rare.. i saw one once in a second hand store and thought it looked awesome, i think the price tag on it was £50, that was in the early 90s, if i wasn't broke at the time i would have bought it.

    National Panasonic branding on the base but on the top

    I can't help wondering if these (from 1970) inspired the famous Smash Martians

    got this nice little Toshiba XR-J9 cd-player for my home setup. even it looks so, it's not designed as a portable unit. it's with internal power-supply and fix mounted cables (power-cord, output). i don't need more cd-player for that handful of cd's i play every now and then...

    Cool setup Auto, the CD player is very similar to the one they mounted on their boombox that had four speaker grills although the top two are just passive cardboard circles.

    Here’s my latest find, picked up on ‘Freecycle’.
    Advertised as missing its (very, very expensive) cartridge, it was in fact all intact. The automatic arm lifting mechanism was seized and the cartridge weight settings were way off. Matches my Beomaster receiver perfectly and, if I can find it, should work via the ultrasonic remote control too!

    Thanks, it was certainly a lucky find!
    It’s amazing the effect a little bit of hardened grease can have. This has ‘one touch’ operation - pressing the start button, the turntable weighs the record, decides on its size and speed and moves the arm across accordingly. It relies on this brass plunger operating freely for the whole process to work. You can see the state of the grease…
