Just so you know, I was rummaging around this weekend and stopped at a house and asked if they had any boomboxes with just cassette players....... the guy said he had his original "sharp" boombox and he paid $200 for it in 1980..... He said he would show it to me and took me to the basement and he pulled out a GF-5959
. He was really attached to it and I offered $25 because it was pretty dirty. I honestly didn't look it over at all. He just lifted it up, blew the construction dust off of it and cranked up the radio.
I see now that you don't have this one in your collection and the 5959 style isn't my cup of tea so I didn't push the sale at all
.
