Sharp GF-9595

[mrp32]

Got this a few months ago but it's all finished now. It's main problem apart from needing a good clean and rusty speaker grills was only one channel working. The channel problem turned out to be corrosion inside the external speaker sockets, I couldn't sort this so just bypassed them now both channels work great. So repainted the speaker grills did the belts, these must be the longest belts I've seen in a box, and the usual gooey capstan rubber and gave it good clean inside and out.
It came with user manual and a well worn brochure but still nice to have.
Turned out very nice, and it's a geat sounding box much better than my 9797.
Heres's some pictures.

That's hard to believe it was made in "79" with a digital tuner

I believe this is correct. Maybe someone else can verify?
Released in late 79 and available into 1980.

Thanks for the comments.
As for the year of manufacture, as you all know Sharp kindly put a date code at the start of their serial numbers, this one starts with a 9 so 1979 followed by 2 ones = November 79.

I think the 9595 is one of my fav boxes. It has a very pleasant sound, but it isn't a bassbin - not that it needs to be either. It is also visually appealing to me.

Very nice condition that boomer is

Cheers
