Sharp GF-505SB

[upbnsfrrfan]

Hey guys, It's been a while since I posted something new here. Anyway, my latest find...the japanese version of the 9494.....the GF-505SB. It is actually clean for it's age but still has some minor blemishes and sounds really good without any scratching. Just have to repaint the grills satin black to cover the blemish and make it look even under bright lights By the way....just love the japanese text on this box

ENJOY!!!

It's an ice cream headache! I have to look at my 767 to know how to operate my 999!

Thanks guys. You're right about that Styleking.....I have to look at my 9494 to operate the 505 And this thing is only rated at 100v so it's running on batts right now til I find a converter for it.

its been a dream of mine to find a japanese spec box like this,all the japanese text,just makes it more interesting sure,it will take some fathoming out what does what but you'll get used to it

Not really my schedule has been so hectic I don't have full days anymore to do restos. I took on a members m90 a few months ago but haven't had time for it yet. I explained to him my situation and feel bad. Even told him I'd ship it back and refund money because of my short time frame. With my new business I'm pretty tapped. Sorry bro
