The dislikes on this video are crazy. Not only was this video entertaining but even since this video came out it's still the best review of the product on KZbin. Thanks Spats!

Awesome sharing, so cute, my friend

Thats a very cool Vintage Boombox, very nice!. I was also going to ask, have you thought about owning a Hoover Toaster?

anyone know the belt sizes for the dryer?

Nice to see a real Royal instead of a Royal dirt devil

Will this CR-7000 work with the newest (HD 1080i / 720P) CRTs? I actually have a Toshiba 34" with a DVI (HDMI) - sucks it only does analog pip and no digital tuner but oh well just use this converter

Sounds like a flyback actually. Possibly yoke - I'm not a CRT expert but some horizontal problems I used to have as a kid I couldn't fix (or didn't have the tools or money) I'd just bust the TV up with a baseball bat and find another. I am actually learning how to fix them now

what kind of car are you driving?

So I lucked out and found one of these guys at the Goodwill bins. Everything is in working order except for the EQ, which seems to be not working at all. Pretty general question, but where would you start on diagnosing that?

9:09...Yep, no stranger to that. When I had to service one of my GE decks, had to pick off bit by bit the tar that the belt turned into off the flywheel and drive motor spindle.. I do not have an ultrasonic cleaner, but rubbing alcohol seemed to have helped a lot to remove it,

I'll give you $50 for it.

Nice my grandpa did have one till he was a adult

When I was a kid I remember old color TVs had a problem staying in the right colors. People's faces would slowly go from flesh tones to green. You had to constantly adjust the colors, or live with people turning green. Sometime around 1970 color TVs had automatic fine tuning and the color of people's faces stayed the same throughout the whole show.

I thought about you when I saw this on eBay I did not buy it because I figured it would sustain damage

We need more of this

Oh I so miss my boom box. I thought mine was always the biggest and the best. lol 😂. That thing was big and heavy with all them batteries.

T-shirt please

I wonder how much research that this guy has done on the technology that is being used to data mine everything we do. They sell that data, which is our personal intellectual property, and they don't disclose the accounting to us about how much income they are gaining from our data. They can tell when you turn on a Blender, micro, AC, WHATEVER. And also a multi level billing system, where they charge you MORE NOT LESS THAN BEFORE. My bill went up not down after install, they can do unimaginable things with the help of these and it's part of the surveillance state that's become increasingly concerning

D--V--E. Black and yellow black and yellow

It's interesting that the FM tuner shows the frequency down to .00 MHz, but never uses that last segment, except maybe if you switch it to European tuning mode.

Based on a Sanyo or a Sharp by the looks of it.

Hello Spats! I was waiting for you to finally upload this video ha! I am the one that purchased the other one from Ebay! The first one you purchased that was damaged,I looked at that one but I was not happy with this condition.The one I purchased almost looks new and it has the extremely rare owner's manual with it as well! However , after requesting the seller to box the boombox up a particular way for safety purposes they didn't, and it came to me with the cassette door partially popped out,and the power button sometimes doesn't engage to power up it up. But it almost looks new. I'm probably going to be putting it back up for sale.Let me know if you would like another one! Cheers! Larry

Last Wednesday I picked up a Panasonic RX-5050 boombox. I found at a flea market for $15 in %100 working condition. I did just got done going through it to clean and lubricate the tape transport. The belts were still good had plenty of tension and weren't deformed. So I left the original belts in the unit.

The one i had was the engineers model . It was the same except the bottom art design was criss-cross patern as apposed to this one rectangle pattern.

I also spotted a (presumably) new old stock GPX personal radio/cassette player… are we about to get our GPX on in the near future?

Not bad at all, especially considering what you had to go through to get there! Fantastic job Spats!!!

holy hell man nothing pisses me off more than a seller that treats these classic radios with no regard for packing.. glad another showed up so quickly.. GE made some real winners back in the 80's.. got a mint Blockbuster sitting right next to me.. what a looker..

Ahh the great packing done by gremlin's.. Enjoy the extra warm weather yinz it's hot !!!

Looks great for a boombox my dad had it the sound was so good.

Regarding shipping damage, I nowadays always write the fleabay seller a message with explicit instructions on how to package an item so that it will arrive safely, and also tell examples of what not to do. If they choose to ignore all that and it arrives damaged, it's refund time. With "unreplaceable" things, I sometimes even go on a road trip and pick stuff up directly so it can't be damaged during shipping.

Actually, I have seen couple of these on both Ebay and Facebook Marketplace recently. Still on the hunt for that CD version.

Very nice, great job, Spats, making lemonade out of a lemon! 😊 I have a very small collection of boomboxes, and I've never yet had any GE box, I wonder if GE made their own or were they made by Sanyo or Panasonic or another manufacturer?

God the boombox days your making feel old as dirt

Looks great now 👏🏻 great job

Omg that sucks what happened to that radio😢

I’ve seen that first boombox when I was in grade school omg😮

My grandfather has this exact boombox in his attic i remember seeing it as a kid

great job,thanks for sharing.

ok.. these cassette decks allow you to remove the flywheel cover by providing holes to get to the screws.. explain to me why they cover up one of the screws to allow you to remove the tape motor.. seriously.. so you have to basically remove the plastic surrounding the cassette mech.. which is a pain.. when they could have just left a courtesy hole to remove the screw.. grrrr... great video BTW!

just curious but what do u think of miele appliances, i have those in my kitchen (canadian miele).

Sie haben nicht die Fynamik guter Lautsprecher, aber eine phantastische Raeumlichkeit!

My father bought a MUNTZ 21 in 1955. Worked well in metro DC, bug when we moved to CT he had to buy a GE with 3 IF's. I got the Muntz which contrinuted to my education in TV repair and died a "noble" death 😅 .

Thanks for flipping through the manual, was wondering how to oil a Royal 882.

I have a 1982 rca Colortrak tv. Mine’s rarer like yours.

This Maytag Washer Is Better Than Samsung Front Load Washer

I had this same boombox in '82. As time past my friends would buy bigger more impressive boomboxes but one thing their boomboxes couldn't compete is how clean it would record music off the radio in the chrome mode

The 1986 Chrysler New Yorker weighs 2,719 pounds and has a 103.3-inch wheelbase, and is 187.2 inches long. It has two engine options: A standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 100 horsepower at 4,800 rpm An optional turbo four that produces 146 horsepower at 5,200 rpm

Still own the chrysler new-yorker?

what is the song in the intro?

I had an earlier version of the system 3 corner Great TV but my was white
