Hi People!!
Paid £55 for this last week, the seller even took it of Ebay then offered me discount! Think he knew I was keen to get it!!
Now I am all too aware that these are under performers, they always were but not to a great extent & 35 years later after knowing someone who had one & that they very nice looking & solidly built, the chance to own one boxed with the instructions was something I couldn't pass up!
Anyway it arrived today & so far this is the stereo I have had to nothing more than clean it up - Just dust & dirt & not much either!! A couple of stubborn marks & f**king sellotape on the tuner window AGAIN
Who are these people??
Funnily enough this sellotape was just as stubborn as yesterday on the Maximal boomer, I mean really hard to get off leaving no trace!!
Head & roller clean of course - look at the cassette door & tuner window...........so clean & like new
Everything works like a brand new machine, never had batteries in it either & I doubt the aerial has ever been fully extended - the eject door makes that brand new quiet piston noise as it slowly opens
Sound is good, it's how I remember they sounded - doesn't compete with the better Pioneers at all but all said & done, it is a very nice stereo & a lovely addition as well as being a keeper
This model needs no introduction here or on Boomboxery
