Greetings from Manchester England!
I used to be a repair engineer MANY years ago at Sharp Electronics. Owned a GF9191.
Threw it away like you do.

Fast forward to this year: I'm off to an 80s themed convention and looked for an old boombox... and shocked at their prices! So planning to pick up some old Sharp boxes and refurbish them!

Hello to you all and thanks for letting me join.

Ah a fellow Mancunian! Welcome! If I were you I'd get that 9191 again and relive the old days lol. I like the 9191's so much I have two. If you used to be an engineer you could be very useful round here! :-)

It was many years ago! When Sharp had just moved to Thorpe Road in Miles Plating. The 9090 and 9191 were current models at the time!

I'll get my hands on one and re-live my youth! XD

My first "proper" box was a GF-9090 and I loved it! Only had it a couple of months before I took it on holiday and sold it to the local Ellerman rep. What I remember most about it was the box it came in, covered completely in printed gold foil - very impressive. Anyone else remember the box? Got another GF-9090 recently as replacement but missing the battery lid unfortunately.

Welcome to the most beautiful site on Planet Earth!

We love to have engineers from UK.

My best buddy who passed away 3 years back was from UK. He was the engineer for Philips way back in the early days when they made stereo tube radios. Miss him a lot! He knew it all....

Welcome to the site. There are a few techs (tech heads) like yourself lurking around here as well. We can always use the extra hand. :-D
