with a 93 watt supply 20w per channel that jvc must have sounded pretty good.

I have a sony fh110wx sony mini system

apm speakers with active motion feedback.

I need to fix the foam on the woofers - to make it sing again.

I still need to order 1 more belt for the cassette deck
in my sony cfd 5 boombox.

the ac supplly in my cfd 5 has a 1.6 amp medium blow
fuse but the back pannel says 48 watts and the fuse has never been replaced so maybe it has a bit more power than 48 watts.

the power transformer is located up near an air vent in the top of the case.

I need to buy a digital camera.

the only reason I am awake right now is some one slashed all 4 of my car tires a few hours ago.

The Sonys I have are much earlier, The FH-7 Mk. II, one in black (US), and one in silver (Canada). From what I've seen, the later FH's became rather watered down, with twin cassette decks, and only Dolby B (though the wireless remote is nice). The FH-7 Mk II has dolby C, rare among portables. The surrounds in these speakers are cloth, no rot here.

My fh110wx is anything but watered down.

It is the same size as yours but sony packed
more hardware into mine.

3 way super wide apm speakers.

Twin autoreverse cassette with dolby b and c.

each deck has 2 or maybe 3 motors.

Quick reverse with music search and blank skip
and auto tape type sensor.

digital tuner

5 band eq with spectrum analizer.

Amfb - active motion feedback control of the woofers.

There is a motion sensor built into each woofer.

Each speaker has 4 wires connecting the speakers to the amp.

Amfb = killer tight bass.

It is a portable system but to me it is not a boombox.

boomboxes must be able to run on batterys.

I thought the later models eschewed Dolby C. My mistake. I'd like to see your CFD-5 at Kelso.
My Pioneer representative is an SK-700.

I would post pictures of the cfd 5 - If I remembered how

The only camera I have is built into my cell phone.

I am waiting for 1 more belt for the cfd 5 cassette deck

The deck looks like a real challenge to replace the belts
very complicated deck

you must mean some sort of meet in kelso washington

my life is the pits and some one slashed
all 4 of my car tires.

I hope to get tires on friday.

I have two of these Hitachi TRK-9900 boomboxes (one as a backup). Always liked Hitachi's boomboxes from the early eighties, and this was one of their largest models. Very heavy, over 20 Pounds if i remember correctly! Needs ten D cell batteries, which doesn't make it very portable... Only use it for FM radio these days, but the sound is very good!

Marantz 500 that looks like a neat boombox.



Most big boomboxes run on 8 d batterys so 10 must be better.
