NEC RM-2900W aka Sharp GF-858

I got this one a while back off ebay from Dmitry / stereo80s.
Finally I found time to clean it up and take pictures.
I always liked the GF-565 but never had one.
When I saw this one pop up I just could not resist. :drool:

The NEC seems to be a clone of the Sharp GF-858.
I don't know about the relationship between these companys and how this radio to came be.
Got the same layout like the GF-858 and I guess the same internals but a different color scheme.
The woofers have a white sticker on the back that says NEC but I'm pretty sure they are Sharp woofers.

I love the blue grills.
It's more like a sky blue - definitely a lighter blue than the one on the bolts box.
Also the woofer grills are plain - they dont have the horizontal line shape in the middle of the grill and trim like the Sharps.

Condition is quite good.
It got some scratches but nothing broken or missing.
Tuner and Line In are working fine.
Both tape decks are running but I dont get any sound from them.
Not sure what the issue is - I'm pretty sure I understand what the switches do without knowing Japanese.
:hmmm:
