teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Sparky]

Thanks guys and Ya sirhman, it detached and same with the speakers, the Walkman took many trips up to the cottage as my mom and dad listened to there hits in the big old station wagon aka grocery getter.

Yorx  was a low end brand and I think I got it for Xmas from santie Claus that came form consumer distributing. I loved it but it slowly broke down over the years. The sound is really nice though brings back memories .

Ok I'm jealous of that ghetto blaster. I always thought it would be cool to own one. One day I'll find one at a goodwill (though probably not)

Yes, Yorx was a low end brand... Kmart carried various stereos/TV's by Yorx here in the States.

My first BOOMBOX was a Toshiba model (purchased on sale at Kmart!)...but it did not have detachable speakers and was not as kool looking as the one you have

Toshiba RT-6015

I picked this up last week for $5!
This was my first ghetto blaster when I was a kid got it in grade 6 or 7 and Van Halen 1984 was the first cassette I played on it. <<tear>>

It's damn near mint

Nice score on the ghetto blaster now you just a need a mat and you can start some,break dancing

So I picked up this CVM off "offer up" yesterday. It was $20. Doesn't seem to be any where as good as MY PVM. 



This one seems to have a built in speaker however I haven't figured out how to connect the audio





Crusty picture of the serial. It's a CVM-1900



F Zero



I always have to adjust the vertical. Can't seem to get it to show the entire screen without part of it "bending" at the top.

Tempted to pass it along to someone else in the area who might need a PVM. It's 19 inches.

Here are better pictures of the front off google images.





On mine the knob on the far right for picture broke off. But I can still adjust it by sticking a finger into it and twisting my finger to the eighth or left. Lol.



If anyone can give me a heads up on what I am doing wrong on hooking up a component system to this with audio let me know.


Not really an expert here. Or even a novice.

Offerup is pretty dead in my area. The last time I looked at tvs there were posts from a year ago within the first few results. XD

Yeah it's mostly dead in my area to. It actually took the seller two months to response to my message about this tv.

I forgot all about it until he randomly messaged me saying it was still up for grabs. His being 16 minutes from my house helped.


The dude might even buy one of my extra Coke machines this Saturday. Or so he claims.


Which means my wife will finally have her garage back to park both cars. Lol

[Gypsy]

Yeah that is rather odd I would have forgot about it as well after that long.

What is the difference in a CVM, PVM, and BVM?

[Medic_wheat]

What is the difference in a CVM, PVM, and BVM?

PVM is production

BVM is broadcast

CVM ?  Closed Circut ?

Not sure.

It has some of the same features as the PVM. Adjustments for vertical (no horizontal) with BNC connectors in the back. Not sure what kind of connectors the audio side has.

I am sure someone more knowledgeable can answer this.

C stands for Commercial I think, could also be for Color

Maybe cookie?  And that is good enough for me.

Damn Sparky!  That boombox looks awesome!

I always keep an eye out for them too when I'm hitting thrifts and I've found a couple cool looking ones but nothing like that.  I mainly try and grab Walkmans if I find them cheap and in decent shape, but it's been a couple years since I found anything good.

[schweaty]

So a cvm is composite only?
