I walked into a local clothing shop today and heard the shop music playing from a speaker just above my head. Wondering if it could be a nice '80s speaker, I looked up through the strange mesh thing that the lights were in, and I could see the speaker on it's side, it was placed on the mesh. It was a silver detatchable speaker from an early '80s boombox, with chrome woofer trim and tweeter covering. I looked close and saw the Sharp lettering on it. I walked further into the shop and found the other speaker resting on the mesh at the back of the store. I approached the shop owner about them, and asked "They're from a portable system, right?" To which he replied "Yeah." I asked if I could maybe see the main section and he said "No, it's upstairs." I asked him if I could maybe buy the stereo off him or bring a replacement, but he wasn't at all keen on the idea. It was probably all the speaker wiring from upstairs to downstairs that he didn't want to disturb. He also said "We've had it for years." I'm really interested in the box, and I had recognised the design of the speaker cabinet. It's from the really rare GF-990, the one with the keyboard. Here's a pic, sorry for stealing it Gettoman.
It had the really tall tweeter coverings just like the speakers above. The only thing is, the grilles were different, they looked like dark grey plastic grilles and I couldn't see the woofers behind them. Are there any other Sharp 3-piece boxes with speaker enclosures like this?

The Sharp 990 would be a most excellent score!

Yeah, he may have considered selling me the 'box if he saw me as a good customer.
