I may as well make a story out of it, My first boombox was the Sharp 9090 and I've recently had phono inputs added and a selector switch so I can listen to the MP3's very happy with it, there is a lot of sentimental value I suppose about people here hold onto the first box they have owned something very special about their first hit. I've collected quite a few now mostly sharp, I wasn't overly satisfied with the 777 I wish it had the 9090 speakers I just think they are warmer and hit the bass a bit better, so after that I stopped going after the bigger boxes still love the VZ-2000 a special beast from a university experiences just a few months ago ( lots of parties rocking LP's ) but I love the comfortable GF-9090 It's so easy to walk about with and so unintrusive In its styling.

I'll get to the point Eventually, I got tickets for a festival called body and soul and holy fark, the boombox in the campsite was crazy w/ rap battles with a megaphone, There was a little breakdancing as well, pumping out all school prodigy, and mostly 90's dance high-intensity.

I've always considered the 9191 probably the best looking box of its time, in its own category of course I hardly expected to blast everyone away, but just as a casual raver I'm very excited, have always wanted one since heading to this site.

Is there anything you guys can tell me about your experiences with the 9191.

This is the one that I won, so awesome and the price was very reasonable coming on the way from Germany.

I agree, great looking radio!

Congrats on your addition to the collection. I have the 9090 as well, solid rocker. Would love to have a 9191

One of my favourites because it's just the right size/weight for carrying about, looks fabulous and sounds great...yeh there are better sounding ones but it's the 9191 that's the one that travels with me. Congrats on the black one which is even better looking, I saw that one go cheap and am very jealous...congrats :-)

I finally got round to paying the seller, I don't usually take my time but I was away when I won the auction. So at the Festival I didn't know if I won it for the lost, I was buzzing as soon as I won eBay victories are truly awesome.

Fingers crossed everything is working, These boxes are meant to be tools to bring people closer together, you can have a party without music the one that holds the boombox is an artist and only an artist can appreciate life.

Congrats, the 9191 is definitely one of the best looking boxes, especially when custom-painted

It's definitely rarer than the silver one, but still not sure I'd call it rare. There's usually one on Ebay every 2 weeks or so.

well,just got a 9191 yesterday from the bootfair for 2 pounds :w00t: ,mine has plenty of battle scars,needs a new aerial and the customary idler tyre for the deck doing,but,truth is the 9191 is the best box for its size pound for pound :yes: .it has a fantastic sound-im a bass man,always have been :rock: ,but i dont even need the bass on full on the 9191 as it has ample at about half way up the scale,with equal measure of trebles :yes: .like si says its an ideal carry around box too-its heavy with batteries in but still a good allround street box :rock: -i know all this because yesterdays 9191 isnt my first-had a total of 4 before it-made the mistake of letting them all go though!

Weird, I have two 9191's and they both suck at treble. I agree the bass is good though, for its size at least.
