The music does not suck. :-P OK next time I will try some techno.
Hey have you found another D8614 yet? Have you considered a Condor? Same box, and I have seen them on Ebay.

:drool: :drool: :drool: Ooh! Love that. The Rammstein tune works well methinks. The build quality reminds me of my Tento-built Selena Vega multiband radio of the type that used to be sold in the UK by people who advertised them in those ads in the back pages of the Sunday supplements. And Laskys of course. That radio lacks bass in spite of a fairly large oval speaker and an impressive Push-Pull audio stage but the treble could cut glass it's that shrill when turned up to the end stop.



I would dearly love to own one of these boxes, if only because it makes the GF555 look pretty. :lol: ;-) Another one to search for on eBay.de :-)

There are at least 3-4 of these being sold on ebay.de every week. ^_^
Believe it or not, it was sold in the mid 80's. They were 10 years behind the rest of the world. :lol:

Great review man, thanks for all the pictures. I love this kind of stuff. Maybe it's because my memory of the 80's when the cold war was going on, us American's always wondered what was on the other side. Maybe this box is no Sharp, but it's cool nonetheless certainly worth saving!

Yeah definitely, it was all a big mystery, all the hype about the Iron Curtain and how "different" they were. Movies like Rocky 4, Red Dawn, Firefox, lol :lol: .........How simple and easy it was.
