Sharp GF 9000 Boombox full restoration

[CorafanRIP]

Now I have the second Sharp GF 9000 this was in a very bad condition because I had to clean a lot as you can see it has paid off, unfortunately 2 important towers are missing for the slider, and he only goes to battery of him trying to operate on AC power led to the total failure in the apartment oh w

ell one can not have everything such a factor is quite ok

...working on mine as we speak...such an awesome looking box, can't give a judgement on the sound yet as mine needs a bit more work before it will (fingers crossed) boom!

Not sure those are 8's but bleach would work wonders bringing back the whiteness

fftopic: When bleaching, do you put the bleach in a spray bottle and spritz the speaker? I have never tried that

Yes Chris. Put it in spray bottle full strength. Spray over speaker but don't soak it. Put speaker in up position so no bleach drips into magnet/coil. Let sit for few minutes then blow dry low heat. Repeat if necessary.

Sharps speaker are usually pure white. Yellowing usually caused by cigarette smoke.
