Hi folks,
Just bought this box, my first overseas delivery. Whoever painted it chose the right colour imho. So got a couple of questions for 800/801 owners. Is the dc supply tip negative? Can't see the markings anymore. And what are the aerial lengths retracted and extended please? I don't suppose anyone would have a replacement on/off switch as well...asking too much i know.
Looking forward to re-stringing the tuner and getting access to the whole band, but never done that before. All good fun (i hope).
Cheers everyone

For re-stringing the tuner, be sure and make a note of how many loops go around the main wheel - that is if the old string is still somewhat intact.

Also, one of the AKAs of this boombox in the Prosonic PQR-9962. You might want to have a look in that section for other tech tips.
