I have been advertising for {boomboxes wanted} in my 'greater' local area
for about 4 years now, or more.
I put up adds on sale boards and the occasional add in the paper just to see.
I have picked up some very cool boxes by advertising but last weekend it finally happened
I had driven 2 hours up to the city and had spent the whole day shopping and
checking out a few places for boomboxes, as you do, and by the end of the day
when i was just about to head home i got a phone call.
The guy tells me he has a big silver Sharp i may be interested in !
He said he had bought it around 25 years ago and it has sat in his
garage for about 24 and a half years !!
Definately im interested! I asked him what the model number is, telling him it was most
likely to be a GF something.
He wasnt sure so he said he would go and have a look and ring me back.
So as i waited i was thinking. Could it be a 9191 or 9292 ? to most this is considered
a big boombox, and rightly so ! Or dare i hope for a 9494 or even a 9696 !! That would be cool.
He rings me back,
Its a GF 777 he said
I just tried it out, it all seems to work 
I couldnt believe my luck, not only getting the call but actually being only 10min away
from his house when i actually live about 2 hours away.
I went straight around and did the deal.
I havent cleaned it up yet, im leaving that for the Easter holidays when i can
relax and do it
I wanted to show you guys the dust that proves it has sat for sometime
but also let me assure you underneath the dust it is MINT MINT MINT !
I also want everyone to know that it took a lot of advertising, a lot
of phone calls, a lot of asking everyone you see
and about
4 years for this to happen. So when you think it may never happen, dont
give up people, it may surprise you when you least expect it !
