1992 Soundesign Model 4749 AM/FM Stereo Radio With Twin Cassette Recorder - Part 1

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Youtuber TheOriginalHDchannel did the same w/ vacuum cleaners and it pumps out a good amount of water.

[CrisVangel]

what do u expect from a sounddesign, made in taiwain by midget 10 year old prisoners fresh out of rehab with a 5th grade education!

[NYz3R0dAY]

in two years that unit would have been vintage lol.

[SpeakerFreak95]

it seemed the speakers loosened up once wet and got more bass, seen it happen before... only cheap speakers do, good ones dont have to loosen to sound okay

[SpeakerFreak95]

it was crying in pain!! lol

[SpeakerFreak95]

i almost felt sory for your radio when the audio started screwing up

[SpeakerFreak95]

i meant river not raver

[SpeakerFreak95]

piece of crap, i had one, tossed it in the raver while it was on, played 2 minutes under water on one channel because of bad speaker vc

[MSNIMSM]

Listening to that POS whine in the tub is funny as hell.

[MSNIMSM]

My friend has one of these, in shit shape, the left cahnnel does not work half of the time, but it still works to this day.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

My older brother used to have that same exact model too. He got it for Xmas back in 1991 and a year after that, he was constantly pounding on it really hard because the right speaker keep intermittent. Another year later, he slammed it on the patio.

[MSNIMSM]

I saw a pair of sound desighn speakers that I might get in a thrift store just to melt them.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

LOL!

[MSNIMSM]

I found something even beter in the trash today! A YORX stereo with the crap speakers and everything. You can guess what I did, though I kept the speakers.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Was it a shelf or floor stereo?

Last year I found a 1985 Yorx clock mini stereo with cassette and it worx perfect although the recording system is DC bias, but doesn't sound too bad. I'm not destroying though.

[MSNIMSM]

Floor standing speakers with the crap ass all in one unit. I smahed the reciever.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

LOL!

[MSNIMSM]

The tweeters have bigger VC's that the fullranges used as woofers.

[EmersonCollie]

I can't believe it lasted that long in the shower. The sounds it was making while it was going underwater sounded like an atari.

[radriclerat]

Heh, I was thinking that it sounded like an Atari, too!

[wildbilltexas]

What a waste of good batteries! :P It made a great sound as it was dying.

[stereomann83]

what was wrong with the radio?

why did'nt you sell it on ebay or craigslist

it did last a long time with it being in the water

[spatsbear2]

I'm cleaning up and cleaning out. It is not worth the money to even post on eBay. This isn't a vintage radio either.

[Trance88]

Wooo yeah! Play that funky music! Perfect music for this torture! I can't believe that thing is working in the shower! Hmm.. Maybe it would make a good shower radio?

[digidude86]

I think it would have been more fun if you cracked it open and remove the power transformer and just run 120 VAC to the board

[damusician]

Haha, that was awesome!

One older brother's had that same exact SD. He got it for Xmas of 1991, but it crapped out less than 2 years. The right speaker kept on intermitting that my bro was constantly punching it til it really crapped out. When he was through with it, he smashed it on the patio.

[ddl312]

HAHA, you put it in the shower, I thought you house was leaking or something. It lasted long in there.

[DATANK1436]

Walgreens pwned that radio lol.

[spatsbear2]

lol they did!

I would have never noticed that either :p

[hdyudu]

this is one of those do not try a home kind of thing is what i have to say by the looks

[hdyudu]

thare talking about walgreens at 5:44 on the

radio after thay doing that cici pizza skit at

5:14

[DATANK1436]

cici pizza is god

[Maxxarcade]

OMG the music made it even more funny!

I did this by accident when I was a kid, using my "water resistant" Panasonic walkman. I was playing a tape, and it started slippimg, then it started making noises like that.

[steelrain3]

LOL !

[CassetteMaster]

Neat how long it lasted in there! After it dries it might work again, could you try that out? Also, for doing stuff like this, please keep it to these newer cheaper items. I don't want to be seeing one of a vintage tape recorder being destroyed!

[spatsbear2]

I would never dream of doing that to a vintage tape recorder! I know exactly how you feel.

[1944johndeerel]

you have to make it soapy water. water needs the saop to allow it to more effectivly conduct electricity and destroy stuff!

[Silverwolfstarz]

i used own that exact radio .

the Power Transformer went out in it and took out Rectifier didoes and filtering Compasstor

[coondogtheman1234]

lol first view first comment, nice boombox and man that thing is built like a tank its been in there for like what 5 mins and its still playing, can i ask you why you did this to this radio, just curious

[spatsbear2]

I'm cleaning up and cleaning out. I no longer want it, and I just wanted to see what happens.

This is only part 1 too. Stay tuned for more :p

[coondogtheman1234]

lol if I lived near you id gladly take it off your hands but im over here in ct so I cant, and I cant wait for part 2
