Hello Everyone

Hello to everyone!!!!

I want to introduce myself.

Im newbie, and it is 1 year that Im interested and buying selling braking, fixing boomboxes.
Addiction started from young years, when I has my first box (Sharp GF-515).
Im not a normal collector. I don't like to keep the devices. I like to clean and fix them, put them on my guest room enjoy a glass of beer and listen some cassettes for 1-2 weeks, then sell and buy another, and repeat.


My fixing skills are not perfect. But as you know Japan boomboxes are almost immortal, and some cleaning bringing back their life 90% situations. And also my father is great master for that kind of devices, and he is helping me when I cant solve any problem.


Unfortunately there isn't so much models available in my (post soviet) country, so it is some kind of problem to find anything interesting.

Joining this club to find friends, find good information. And Im hoping that the models that available in my country can be interesting for someone, who have other more exotic devices for me and we can make swap or something like that Also planning to sell many parts, because I have some dead boxes.

This is the devices that I have now, and it is overall all that I can find here...

1. Sharp 9191
2. Sharp 515
3. Sharp 777
4. Sharp GF-800
5. Sharp WF-939

YES! I love Sharp. Maybe it is because I didn't saw anything Else!?!?!?!

Im 29 years old and have wife and 2 baby girls.

Sorry for my BAD English

hope to find good communications here

Welcome! For years now I am trying to remember the model of soviet bbox I bought in '84, even before you were born, but its been so long that all memory is gone :-( something like Radiotechnika-whatever... glad you had a better childhood experience with Sharps: nice units!!!

Is that soviet boombox is one of these?

No, mine looked nothing like these! Fancy-looking bboxes you have here, the first one is esp wicked, with four meters!!!!

I love them Russian boxes.

They look cool for me. But the quality is awful, you it is hard to get any good sound from it.
