First time seeing this GE model.

Apart from the location and looks of the tweeter it looks nice.

Looks like GE's replica of M80..

How does it sound?

Actually you are close. It is a Sharp in GE drag. It's actually a Sharp GF9797. I had one of these once and it has the Sharp logo printed on the circuit boards inside. It is a nice sounding box but no bass machine. It is a nice looker too.

You are correct Scott! :yes: :thumbsup: I got mixed up with M80 and 9797. I have both M80 and 9797.

They actually sound fairly nice, better than your typical GE. It doesn't have much low bass though. I sold mine to Uncle Ed. However, I found out yesterday that I have another one in my dad's garage that I totally did not remember. :w00t:

You know you are a serious collector when...
You are on ebay , looking at the latest boombox auctions, and you can't quiite remember if you have that model or not. :)

There is a US GF-9797 that has line-in and the more powerful GF-9797E European version that has just phono in. I have both. :)
There is also a super rare GF-9797HB bronze edition which I'd love to get someday! So rare that I've only seen 1-2 over the years and only here.
