New addition from member Ewen

[AZA]

Member Ewen got in touch with me in regards to my 'Wanted' post and
said he was looking to sell his Minty GF 9696.

Now i already have a very Mint 9696 but mine has the black grills and
Ewen's was the one with the less often seen silver grills.

After sending me some pictures i knew it would look great in my collection
so we did the deal and Ewen had it sent to me in no time at all.
It was packed fantastic and Ewen also kept a close eye on its progress when travelling to me in Australia.

Thankyou so much Ewen for taking the time and care that you did and it will be very well looked after
here in OZ.

Here are some pics of the 2 together.
I wish the lighting was better but i can say that there is hardly a mark between them

amazing !!!

those last 2 shots --
looks like you were hired to make the retro sharp catalogue

 

[Superduper]

A couple cans of spray paint and some elbow grease -- I'll bet you could reverse the colors on those two at will.

 

[reptoid]

wow
those reel tapes definitely pop in those

Gorgeous. Just Gorgeous. I have a new lust for the Sharp 9696.

You anywhere near Brisbane AZA? Could I arrange to hear these at some point? If it's no trouble for you of course.

Hey Terry, took me a while to find my first 9696 but they do tend to show up now and again
in Australia.
Would be happy for you to check mine out but unfortunately im in WA

A full coloured glossy catalogue of the best of the best Sharp boomboxes from
the 80's, now that would be cool !!

Google maps tells me it's 4500k to Perth, so I won't be driving over anytime soon.

OK AZA, I'm gunna add the Sharp 9696 on my most wanted list, along with a few others.

Fantastic couple, AZA.
Congrats man

 

[Gluecifer]

Ohh I was awfully tempted by that 9696, I'm very glad to see it made it to the southern hemisphere!

Really beautiful radio, exceptional design.

I believe I should give more priority to scoring one of these!!

Well played AZA!!



Rock On.

 

[Old school Scott]

Outstanding!
I wonder what the white grills look like on the white one and the black grills on the black one.

Cheers OSS

Awesome AZA, the 9696 is a strong classic that looks 100% the part.

Silver / Silver for me. But, you can't go wrong with either of those. Absolutely splendid.

The two together - simply beautiful AZA !!

It was a pleasure, and for anyone reading a big thumbs for doing any kind of deal with AZA - he's really a top guy.

Fantastic work both of you.

Well done, very nice units, love them both.

Black or Silver, hmmmm. Maybe lend me both for a while so I can choose
