I really like those in Black. It's one of my favorite looking Sanyos. Those woofers speaker caps are huge. I say this cause I might have your Chrome caps if you want a pair. PM me Oh, and "DIBS" btw

This era of Sanyo is the best era of Sanyo. I think this was the second real blaster I found. There's something about the styling of this radio with its green backlight and chrome that makes it feel like it belongs on the set of some movie about a submarine lol. Cool score. Will always be one of my favorite models. If the house was on fire I'd be leaving with that before the m70.
