GE 3-5259A Graffiti find

[k2j]

Couldn't pass this one up all alone in the wild... It's seen better days, I did manage to clean it up a bit by clearing the paint off the VU Meters and the scratched paint off the knobs.

It looks like all the internals are there, but it doesn't work yet. I'd like to get it to play tapes at least, but the schematics don't seem to be available. Ugh.

Best part was carrying it 2 miles on the way home. Got several 'nice boombox' comments!

How did they get the VUs to stand in the middle like that?

That's the only thing that happens when you put batteries in, no LED or any other signs of life though.

Exactly. A perfect reflection of that era. I like it- even if it ends up only as a prop.

WOW that is one slick box! That must have taken some real skill to paint!

Ohh wow!! Amazing!
Perfect 80s graffiti too.

Congratulations! Hope you can get her all working, lots have Blockbuster's so it shouldn't be too hard to diagnose/fix.
