Sharp GF-8HL

This just arrived today only bought it because I've not seen a red one before.
It was was filthy, but it is fully working and sounds pretty good.
It's not in the best of condition, but still looks quite nice.
Bad points:
Top cover missing, no antenna but the base is there will have one somewhere that will fit, one fixing screw missing for the trim below the cassette, the mirror finish on the VU window has faded and one screw post broken.
So here it is, was it worth £20?

Nice score Dave.
Def worth the money these are quite rare. I've only seen the silver one up until now.

I actually saw one of these at the Mt Gravatt markets 2 weeks ago. It was a silver version and was in good cosmetic condition. The problem was that the seller had left it out in the rain that morning! I tipped it up and water ran out of the top load deck door! I lost interest after that!

Some people have no idea.

I've bought a few boxes from him in the past and most were actually much nicer than expected and fully working

And would it not eventually dry out?
