Here is my newest box, a GF-8989 II. I'm really enjoying it's build quality, this thing is a tank! Its feels very solid for a mid size,has decent sound and this thing screams. I'm gonna put it up against my Panasonic 5050 to see which one is louder.
This unit works flawlessly, the case had a lot of paint splatter on the back, handle and some on the front, but it all came off.
Some things i need are an original antenna, power cord and one of the speakers has some stains on it so I'll have to clean them off.
Enjoy!

Ok, so today I finally got around to cracking this sucka open, cleaning the internals and seeing if I could clean the stains off the speakers. Here are the shots hope you guys enjoy.
Tools of the trade and the front of the case.
This thing was pretty clean inside.
These tweeters look pretty weak. But for some reason, the sound pretty good.
Heres what kind of speakers this baby's packin' 16cm 4watts (8watts max!!!) 3.2 ohms
Here's the born on date, Nov. 1981.
I used a mild solution of bleach to get the bad stains off. At first I used too strong a solution and you can see the two really white spots i i hit first.
I couldn't get all of the grime off, for fear that the bleach would compromise the cones integrity. It's alot better than before, you cant notice them behind the grills.
With that said I butted her up and declared "mission accomplished!!!" I celebrated with a Chimay, a Belgian Trappist beer that totally kicks ass! . I highly recommend one if you enjoy craft beers.
Cheers!
