For all the collectors that are missing the gatefold cover for their Sharp GF-8 boombox – here is the solution. I uploaded an STL file to Thingiverse. It can be downloaded and either printed out with the own 3D printer or sent to a 3D print service company, that will do it...

Inspired by this advertising picture, I was thinking that it would be good to have both – red and silver. So I did it. :yes: As the silver one also had no gatefold cover, I just printed and sprayed it.

Hello, Everyone. This is my first post. I originally joined Boomboxery to seek helpful suggestions for restoring the sun-faded colored plastic on my SHARP QT50, recently purchased on eBay. Here are four of the original eBay listing photos. This little box is a delightful addition to...
