Sweet smell of a local pick up

[im_alan_partridge]

Got this today, its not the best sounding or best looking, but its fully working, in reasonable cosmetic condition, was about 1 mile from my house and cost £20. It would have been rude not to buy it

Da Daa, a trusty GF-8989, a good solid work horse. And I even got a "Best of Diana Ross" tape thrown in, which was nice.

Always a great feeling finding one locally..
I've bought a couple not so desired boxes just because I found them in the wild..

A mile from your house?...now that's what I call LOCAL. They're nice mid sized boomers the 8989, and for £20 you can't go wrong! Congrats

So awesome!

Good find, Dave. That's as jammy a find as you'd get without falling into a huge barrel full of jam.

Nice box!

There will be more boxes in your neighborhood!
Start hunting for more by posting signs in every junction.

Thanks for all the replies fellas, it is a sweet box.
I gave it a good test drive while I was doing some stuff around the house yesterday, kinda wandering why I sold my old one
