Junk shop Sanyo

[Hisrudeness]

There are a few house clearance junk shops in West Norwood Siuth London and I spotted a humble little Sanyo in one of them a few weeks ago. The shop always seemed to be closed. I wasn’t sure what the model was but it had a quirky little design and if it’s a Sanyo you’ve got to take a second look right? A Pioneer aside this year I don’t see much in the wild stuff so this is always cool.

A nice little shop and because the box didn’t fire up on test the guy gifted it to me for no charge.
It’s an M9970L from the late 70’s or very early 80’s with Co axial speakers and a small set of leds at the bottom. I got it going at home and the deck runs but sluggishly.

Lasonic tweeters!

That's a sharp-looking Sanyo I love that Vu meter panel I wish I had about a half a dozen or so to put in my boxes.

One of the missing Sanyos of my collection... I could never find one in the wild although this box is pretty common on the continent. Dits has one and he loves it... Great find in the wild and what a bargain price!

Yeah thats nice Rudey, proper line in, lovely low level led vu's and a needle meter for battery, i like it a lot. Those quirky tweeters set in the centra just round off a cool little box.

How did I know you would be in on this thread LOL

Nice find! Looks really clean, a quick rebelt and it sounds like you'll have a winner. Can't beat the price.

I love the red tweeters!

What?! From far away it just looks to be very simplistic, but get up close you can see all these unique details!

Lol! I actually had to consult with Sal before before I bought as I didn’t know much about the box.

This is a really cool box and I love the red tweets in the center of the main speakers. Looks nice!

Dan’s a great guy to deal with. I’ve got a sexy box on the slow boat coming from him.

Where I live, I NEVER find boomboxes in the wild. Great find! I'll keep looking though
