Guess those needle meters require a lot of volume, huh?

[@80s_kid.]

Yes the Needle Vu's are garbage, even if i turn the volume on full they still hardly move at all, and when they do bounce they just bounce around on their own, and they don't bounce slow and flow. i was thinking of buying a vu driver board and wire it up inside, just to see if i can make them bounce proper when the volume is down, The stereo actually sounds quite good for a modern china box, but it weighs absolutely nothing, a fraction of the weight of a crown Sz5100.

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

@@80s_kid. There might be a potentiometer on the meter board that can be twisted to adjust the meter sensitivity.

[@80s_kid.]

@@80s_Boombox_Collector There definitely is not, i looked, the Innards are the most basic you ever seen, small amp board, the Led Vu's run like the Sz5100, They run mono, not independent L/R so they both bounce together with no channel separation, the Needle Vu's are just plugged to the bottom of the Main Board. all there is is the Amp Ic, few caps and resistors and that's about it. i need to find the main central pre amp then get a vu driver board, wire that in and see if i can get them moving, it really is a cheapo stereo, nothing in it, light as a feather, only takes 6 D cells. but strangely, despite its cheapness i still kinda like it. i think it sounds just as good, if not better than the Gpo Brooklyn.

[@80s_Boombox_Collector]

@@80s_kid. Wow, that's shitty. Reminds me of my General Sound, the meter has left and right but it's just mono, and there's only one microphone too. As for the GPO Brooklyn yeah it's not difficult to sound better than those. Does it have tweeters?

[@80s_kid.]

@@80s_Boombox_Collector No it doesn't have any tweeters, you will laugh at this, it has Chrome Dust caps Taped in place over the tweeter holes to make you think it has tweeters, that is how cheapo it is lol. the woofers are 4" free edge foam reflex and they sound quite alright with pretty good bass and plenty of treble, i know i'm laughing at it and shítting on it but like i said tho, i do kinda like it, it's not that bad for what it is.. i mean it's certainly no No M90 or GF777, but for a kitchen, or to sit outside playing a bit of music, it will do the job.

Looks like a Ghetto Blaster that you'd pick up on Wish

[@80s_kid.]

You are not far wrong, i got this from ebay, but i think you can get them on Amazon, alibaba and all those other places, there is variant styles under different chinese brands, they are quite cheaply made but i do like the sound of it, it actually sounds decent for what it is. Definitely cheap though

[@mackmccord3743]

Do you have a link for this Boombox!

[@80s_kid.]

i just read your comment and i went and searched ebay, the only one i can find is in Japan and they want crazy money for it. they are not very good, they are cheap and not very well made, i think i saw them for sale on Amazon or Aliexpress a few months ago, This is the one i found on Ebay.. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375128747277?_skw=bluetooth+cassette+Boombox&itmmeta=01J9WQG7X852ZVQT6HXEKMKP0R&hash=item57576a6d0d:g:mnkAAOSwcUFkT6-o&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKnzyPoWlnOTdE0ss0hHOoJF3sv2ATTbZeuOUBQ0NmflP4C5rWOIOjPN5z2KFMGbL2raMar%2BnsKrARxftO7ZuoPCSxqmZGRtf2cX0ZbizQ%2B6RyUyU1IAgaKz%2BS4jXO1I0%2FlkJ7h8iHT80hVPYPRtMkOyPhCAHx%2FFBfykyLGhAI7SHYNpFRD8CxX%2BPDCEDm90agVFyiOyi7t7glUOOPoOFEqRt6zoGmI0hjAoKJWrpA9xrTYNqvP%2FDQ8Schec%2FWfibPE%2Fukeasd2D0deSRZ%2FStaSUYepZszuU2pnnECIUEm%2FkAsCtff1MuOjACr2%2BrJqM11M%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-b-wJfPZA

@@80s_kid. Thank you and that's really wack. The black looks trash. And the only reason Eye somewhat considered it is because of the integrated Bluetooth. That's much easier than carrying extra wires or finding my Bluetooth tape connector for a little date in the park or at the Beach!

[@WalczewskiMarej]

Look at Muse m-380 gb

[@80s_kid.]

Yes i saw those, i would have bought one but they're a bit too expensive for me right now, if you look at the style of them, the body shell is copied from the Sharp GF575

[@Cabby888]

This is not a 80 s product, 😂 but new TEC with old skin is better

[@80s_kid.]

That is why i Wrote "2023 Ghetto Blaster From China". because its from 2023, well probably made in 2022 and sold in 2023. but yes its brand new, with Bluetooth, Usb and Sd Card Reader.

[@misterkappa1962]

Qualcuno è in grado di spiegarmi dove si può acquistare un prodotto del genere? Ho girato diversi negozi di hi fhi, ma non ne avevamo. Grazie a chi mi risponderà. Saluti.

@@misterkappa1962 Hello, i am sorry for not replying earlier, KZbin no longer send me notifications for comment, i tried everything to change it but i still don't get reply notification. You won't be able to buy this radio from a HiFi shop, You will see them for sale online, either on Ebay or Amazon, Or maybe Temu, Aliexpress, Again i apologise for replying 2 months later.
