so i went into the city on weekend. stopped at the usual recycle shops just on the chance id find something interesting, nothing!
untill i notice a second hand shop id never seen before. pulled off a blatant u-turn an headed back opposite direction. stop outside an head in for a look. not much interesting in front room, as soon as walk into next room look left an just there sitting on a chair all alone, silver Sharp GF700Z
go over pick up, dusty as hell, no aerial, open cassette door, wont shut, broken. missing fine tune dial. take to counter to see if works. all lights up, both decks working, volume/balance working perfect.
i missed out on wining a auction for a red 1 about a month ago so didnt think twice an took it.

got home had a good clean, pushed the dent out of speaker grill, did some super gluing of the cassette door hinge. found a slightly broken aerial off an old GF4646. works like new again. got few grazes/scratches but mostly great condition.

they also had a Sanyo C33 which i may make an offer on next time.

nice box

Good for you and well done! :thumbsup:

I agree it's a very nice looking box and just one of a few I've had my eyes peeled for!

I have a beater one of these, not bad box at all. One of the first 3 piece boxes with a nice retro look that is not as cluttered as a lot of later 3 piece boxes.

Yours looks in great shape, really good condition. They must have done a few colours, yours is silver, mine is gold, ive seen a black one on ebay and you mentioned bidding on a red one. A white would look nice :yes:

cheers. you have a better 1? yea seen a few photos of the other colours. gold is cool. quite glad i didnt get the red 1, the metal bit at bottom with tape buttons was all faded an weird colour. this 1 in way better condition, and worked out a little cheaper
