I used a sanyo cp9 in 86 and have always wanted one. Finally purchased one for 200,tape is shot but everything else is good. Why is there no info about this unit. To me it was sweet and OP for the speakers it came with. I cannot find any others for sale. Has anyone else seen any? Thanks! One day I will have enough money to buy my Lasonic back....lol... never realized the 5 boomboxes I had in my youth would be worth so much!
No info on Sanyo cp9

Yes sir, it comes up as CP9 on searches. I get it tomorrow. I have been wanting one since I was 16 in 86 and borrowed a buddies. Can't find much info on it.
It's the C9. He informed me the tape deck was the only thing not working and speakers sound blown. I have brand new Kicker 4ohm components that I'm going to put into it. Just need to figure out how to tune xover.
Yep, the C9 has crazy power. The deck is still shot on mine because I'm too much of a wussy to attempt the belt job. Freddie scared me off on it years ago when he was talking about fixing his. It's not impossible but things are definitely crammed in there.
@rushtk You will LOVE the C9!!
After hearing that the entire box has to come apart I to am not sure of my experience level for doing it. Going to have a shop look at all the capacitors for swelling.
Whelp I got it. It's at the shop now getting examined for swelling of the caps. Tape does not work but everything else does. Found out this guy was the original owner and is finding the receipt from 85. He bought it in Japan, American military PX

It sounded good on radio, I checked and my new speakers I was going to put in are 4ohm so I think that might draw it down to much. Thoughts
Yes, 9 Deezzz
Will put dynamat in the boxes and then figure out what to tune the components to with the Xover. Thank you for your response! Hopefully it's not to much to fix the cassette. Gotta listen to my bootleg RUSH tapes
I also have the car power adapter.
Thank you! Trying to find on here best way to clean box and buff out a few scratches. Hopefully the shop won't rape me on the price for fixing the tape deck. I ordered the dynamat and will get some polyfill for the boxes. Putting these in.

I don't think that unit was purchased in Japan. He might have misremembered where he got it from. Firstly, it has a non-Japan tuner bandwidth. Secondly, the amp lists non-Japan power supply -- it wouldn't work in Japan which operates at 100V. Lastly, there is a UL sticker on that amp. Or perhaps I'm not fully understanding how military PX's work and where their goods originate from.
The military exchange sells both euro and American standard stuff. While in Iraq and Kuwait I bought several items that were American. But he is in late 60's and the memory gets funky
