I love mine! I didn't realize it had the phono. Plugged my Rega table into it and it works perfectly. Such an amazing all in one stereo. Coolness is off the charts.
I remember seeing that boombox at Zodies or kmart back in a day. I wanted that so bad for Christmas. But I got a Fisher boombox instead but I was happy with that.
sold mine about 3 years ago for 3K :)).. this in my opinion was one of the best sounding boomboxes ever..loved the sensor alarm sound ..it was so loud :))
OMG!! Its the same boom box i had when i was like 20 yrs old and it was a REAL BIG DEAL back then in N.Y....I really miss them now and bro they use to sound massively loud and the bass was really hard hitting but sometimes i couldnt be raised to loud on those speakers or theyll start clipping on the woofers but now since there are alots of new sound formats and digital frequencies that now sound has gone to a whole new level but in those days of boom boxes kids and youngsters thought they were the only one with boom boxes that when you realized ,there a bunch of them in your block where you lived so every one of them flaunting there bb and there tunes...those days i will never forget...oh and forgot to mention this b box had also had a sensor alarm just incase sombody move it to steal it..cool...😁🤩🤩🤩🤩
I had the conion c100 and i sold it to buy the sharp gf-777...for the year 84 to 85...models i will never forget and they use to sound OMG so powerful.🤩🤩 and clean i bet if these models wud come again with a different technology that is used now n days i wud definitly will but any of these two with my eyes closed..😄👍😁
Omfg, I wish I still had Aldo Nova on cassette, awesome stereo too. This brought back a memory of speed walking to the cafeteria to get fries, and having to stop and listen to this song, and compliment the half prep half banger on his taste in music and stereo's, and trying to not miss out on fries
@@80s_Boombox_Collector pretty sure they not came out in 82. They came out in 84. This is what i read on some page on the net. And mine (clairtone 7980) was made on 10 august 84. You can see the date inside the case if you open it.
I would really love to see this classic updated like Lasonic did.My friend owned one, and when Lasonic started producing the I931's , we always hoped the other companies would get on the ball. I believe I commented about another Lasonic, the TRC- 920, on your page that I'd would have liked to see modernized. Keep sharing, sir ! You gotta nice collection of Originals.
+Kyd Wykkydboi The sad truth is, I doubt any large company today would be willing to manufacture a boombox so big. The potential market for such a device would be too small.
I assume the LED meters are power, and the analog meters in the left-hand-top-corner are UV ~ aux/cassette, battery/tuning ~ radio. The white box between the power meters is apparently a burglar alarm sensor ~ the idea that this boombox can be armed to deter burglars from stealing it 🤭
+Audiophile Vintage In case you don't know these had an actual alarm you can set that sends out a ear piercing note if someone gets too close. Wish modern ones had that feature they'd get stolen less lol!
On that under storage... I BET HALF OF THE DUDES I SEEN WITH THIS MODEL ... DID NOT KNOW ..... that storage was under THERE!!! 🤣🤣🤣 , i knew a guy that had one, him and another friend of ours went HALF on it, only thing we knew about it was the THEFT ALARM (which i thought was gonna be demonstrated in this video), they'd set it over and over again and played the music ,and one of us would grab it just to make the alarm sound off 🤣🤣🤣, anyways RIP TO MICHAEL NIX 📻🎧 ...... 🕊
I have 3 of them..But Clairtone 7980's. would like to have one branded Helix tho. Also on the hunt for a Helix Wheely 5000 anyone willing to let go of.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector Oh I see, yeah I do agree on that as well. To me, it has more of a simple and classy look. I think the C100f looks really awesome as well. Definitely much more better looking than the Sanyo 920 in my opinion.
I had this radio (Helix version) - 30 watts per channel but the distortion was pretty high as well. Loved it and so did anyone who witnessed it. 30 lbs without batteries but it still went on my shoulder on occasion.
Dam, I loved the 80s. What an amazing decade to be a teen.

My stolen from our house in the late 80s it was mint condition no scratches and I still have the box it came in
damn that's too bad, they were a lot of money back then
Every 80's kid ultimate dream...

$3K????? I sure hope it was mint and fully working.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector It was in mint condition with fresh belts and full serviced by me
Nice machine and the song is awesome never heard of the band before till today thanks!
Just found one at a garage sale for $35. Tape deck belts are toast… this thing is huge and still sounds amazing!!!!
Damn, $35? These things for $800+ on Ebay if they're in decent shape

@@edwinrodriguez-gs8cv The sharp gf777 is a high quality box, sounds cleaner than the conion but not as loud

I have the Conion C-100F Kobe Japan and it sounds majestic. And he is in good physical condition. It is an iconic radio from the 80s.
Beautiful machine

Perfect song!
Excellent choise of music, thank you!!! :-)

Great song!! Used to speed skate to it! :)
Great video any idea where I can get a power cord for this boom box
Thats amazing!
PERFECT
Wow!!! I have this exact one from 1982👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You purchased it in 1982? I have been trying to learn when it was made.
Yes I purchased it in 1982 at Sears store in Chula Vista California,,,
@@Delfi1900 Thanks, that's earlier than I expected. I thought they were from 1984-5

I would have kept it for my mini bar.

Super ❤️
wow really good sound quality for such an earlier time
I had one of those, what a beast. Unfortunately, when my mother moved to Florida she sold it at garage sale for $2!!! lol :(
Damn, that's messed up. Someone low balled her for sure.
aldo nova fantasy ? turn it up on this monster the neighbors get mad lol!
Gorgeous boombox, what is the sensor button for?
Motion sensor alarm

You're probably right about that. Also the tray is missing half the time whenever I see these things on ebay

Which one do you prefer between this one and the M90?
I don't own an M90 because they cost too much, and they look too conservative. But they definitely sound cleaner and they're built a lot better.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector what do you mean that the m90 looks too conservative?
@@ajrg91 Just doesn't have enough chrome and lights and stuff like that.

Where can I get one?
Can anyone help me identify information a Helix HX-4615? I just got it the other day.
Hmm, never heard of that model, sorry
How many whats per channel
