Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:7003402 |
This is the flagsh...ip model for a reason - the 920 was the height of the 20 series, and has feather-touch full logic cassette deck with music search system, pivoting cassette cradle wih high quality playback head, and a weighted flywheel on the tuner dial.
The radio receiver receives signal very clearly, and the frequency range goes up to 108 so all broadcasts in the western world can be heard.
The sound of this machine is very impressive. It is capable of going incredibly loud without distortion of the sound. The bass and treble controls are very responsive and all the knobs have a lovely resistance when turning.
All knobs, buttons and switches are present and in good condition. The batteryt cover is present and the battery comaprtment clean and rust-free.
The grilles are dent and rust free and the aluminium fascia trims are in lovely condition with only a slight amount of faint pitting. The paintwork is in lovely original condition with only a couple of scuffs on the top. The clear windows are glossy and lustrous, with no noticeable scratches, and the unit is in 100% operating condition with no static or crackling from any of the controls.
The cassette deck is 100% operational and is very responsive. It has all belts replaced, a new idler tyre installed and the mechanism has been serviced and lubricated. The pickup head is clean and free of damage and transmits a very clean signal.
The dial light is working, as is the AMSS search system, this has been tested and is working well. None of the knobs are scratched or rusted and the entire unit is dust-free and very clean. Both antennas are straight and shiny, one of them is a replacement which is almost exactly the same as the original.
This is a heavy, high quality, high-power boombox. It is very big and has a strong presence in both sound and appearance.
Features include AM/FM stereo radio, high end cassette deck, AUX/line in and phono line in, as well as line out for home stereo and recording use. It has microphone inputs as well as external speaker jacks. These models are so rare these days, and can fetch a lot of money! They are an investment for the future, as these machines are not only beautiful but are becoming scarcer and scarcer, and so will only increase in value. Due to the high build quality, if looked after it will last many more years and remain beautiful to see and hear.
Fully working, very rare, very big and loud, this vintage boombox is ready for use in the home or workshop, or at parties or picnics. It is extremely good looking and attracts a lot of loving attention. Suited to general use or to be sat on the shelf by a collector.
Operates on 100VAC, 15VDC or 10 D cell batteries. Sounds superb.
Happy to post anywhere worldwide. Unit will be very safely packed for damage-free transit. Power cord included if sold in Australia.
Thanks for looking! These beautiful machines are very seldom seen so don't miss out!
