I almost passed on a craigslist deal but got a friendly nudge from skippy to get this boomer. I am pleasantly suprised at the quality of the Sanyo M9994. I honestly didn't think it would be my kind of box, boy was I wrong. I love it!

Congratulations Joe. These are surprisingly Bassy too. Although mine is the M9990. Well worth $30 I paid for it at a thrift store. I'll offer You $35 for Yours :-D

I had a M9990 and really wasn't impressed at all. There could have been something wrong with it, who knows.

$35, nope ;)

Nice one, Joe. Looks to be in great shape. :thumbsup:

How do these boxes sound? Whenever I spot one at a good price I'm tempted to buy because everyone seems to love them so much. But I've never pulled the trigger because the style just isn't my thing. I do like the swiveling tweeters, though.

I've posted a couple of times that I would love a 9994. It's just not in the budget right now.

Nice classic looks :-)

I have the 9990 and think this 9994 looks nicer, i always assumed the sound would be very similar :hmmm:

:agree:
I love how "bassy" the 9990 sounds, especially considering it's size.

No. When both are working the way they are supposed to, the M9994 is a far better and louder sounding boombox. According to the respective service manuals, the M9990 has 3.5w x 2, and the M9994 has 7.0w x 2. Aside from the power, the M9994 also has better tweeters and probably different woofers too. Circuits are different too from a design aspect.... M9994 has adjustable bias settings whereas M9990 has none. The M9990 doesn't even have tape speed adjustments.

Hey Norm,thanks for that heads up on the 9990 motor,mine is
slightly slow and now I know it's to be cleaned or replaced!!
My 9990 does have some beautiful bass and is a great sounding boomer,
Just like Norm said:The 9994 has twice the power!! :yes: :cool: :superduper:
