[Ghettoman]

check this out..
=================================================================================
Introducing my GF777 – Part ONE –

Here lies a project waiting for its resurrection. This iconic piece, the Sharp GF777, once the epitome of boombox prowess, now stands silent, a relic of a bygone era.

Alas, it's fallen from grace, broken, non-functional, kaput. Yet, within its battered shell lies potential, awaiting the touch of a skilled hand. Will you be the one to breathe new life into its worn circuits? Perhaps a complete overhaul awaits, a transformation into a Bluetooth-enabled marvel.

Alternatively, envision it gracing your space as a testament to retro style, or even serving as a quirky doorstop, a conversation starter like no other.

This offering is strictly as seen – the boombox alone, no frills attached. Should you require additional visuals, just give me shout. Collection only.

Behold, a relic of a golden age, a reminder that they don’t craft them like this anymore. Will you be the one to revive its glory?

It does NOT work and you will need to collect it from Frome in Somerset.

Time for you to make a statement and buy this piece of audio history - at a price that reflects the work you need to do to get it working.

A characterful listing and a refreshing change to the sudden abundance of AI generated descriptions that eBay has become rife with recently.
It's not too far from me but not my era, I hope it goes to a good home.

That’s some poetic AI soliloquy going on there…

Finally an honest description.
all it needs is everything.
The only one that comes close is the one I bought.
The item description follows.

I'd rather sell it than throw it in the trash lol.

I think Hemingway is selling this box before he heads out to sea for a fishing trip

Heh...It kinda reminds me of this infamous Subaru Brumby ad from about a decade ago.

Somebody got a decent deal on that one . it's probably something stupid wrong with it that could be a fairly easy repair.

i hope its gone to someone who will appreciate it, not an ebay shark or someone with dozens of boxes lad

Yes sometimes I don't know who's crazier the guy with one boombox and 50 cats or the guy with 50 boomboxes and one cat.

Wow that went cheap, i think it was the No Shipping that stopped people from bidding, where that guy lives is far from anywhere, if he was in a major city like London, Manchester, Birmingham Or Liverpool, i recon he would have got more, but that Price, in England, is what we call "cheap as chips", i hope whoever got it comes here and lets us know the problems it has, hopefully it's not something too bad, Maybe someone here with good skills can guide them in to getting it working again.

Probably better off not having to deal with shipping . these boxes are one of the easiest to break. The gf 777 worst enemy is it's own weight .

Yes definitely floyd, i bought one from PeppinHK on ebay around 2004, it was a GF909, when it got here it was a mess, smashed, the back had a huge crack down it, the back was hanging off due to broken/snapped screw posts, it was a wreck. all i got back was my purchase cost, lost out on shipping and import duty. i did buy a couple of GF999s from japan though and they turned up fine with no damage, i sold them years ago but a couple of years back i did buy another GF999 which i still have.
