The Bigger the Better? | Reviewing the JVC PC-5

today we look at the JVC PC-5 boombox/component system. It came out in 1981 and has a rare metal case. Bough off of Craigslist, is it worth it?

Loudness adds more bass at lower volumes.

Thanks! That makes more sense

I had this unit when I was in the Navy in the 80's. You are correct about the batteries. Carbon batteries back in the day would last maybe 2 hours if you were lucky. With batteries, this thing weighed in at 38 lbs. I would love to find one again. Most awesome BOOM BOX on the market. Even to todays standards.

I just got one of these in its original box, with all the pieces in their original boxes. Everything present, cables, handle, everything. Even included a 12v cigarette lighter car adapter brand new in the box as well. I just opened it up last night and was blown away at how nice everything is, and how well it’s built. I need to do some minor repairs to the tape deck and re-foam the speakers, but even with those ailments, it’s a powerhouse. I recently started collecting boomboxes, and this thing blows my beloved Panasonic RX-5150 away in terms of power and fidelity.
