Last weekend while out to dinner with my father in law he tells me " there is a surprise coming for you but I can't tell you what it is.
So I'm like ok, very curious.
My wheels are turning at this point.
Rewind about a year and a half ago I met an older couple, Friends of my in laws over at their house.
We got into the conversation of hobbies and of course we discussed my odd hobby of collecting vintage boomboxes. And so the conversation ensued and out comes out the iPhone pics and all.
So the husband tells me that he has one in his basement back home and says he thinks its a Sharp. He also says its a pretty big one!!
Also tells me if he digs it out that he will send it to me.
Well this was the only surprise I could think of that this can possibly be. Maybe? Can it be?
Well my father in law calls me yesterday and tells me "your surprise showed up today"
So I show up at the house and there is a boombox sized box on the floor in front of the door. Very heavy box, so at this point the old ticker is thumping out of my chest.
Can it be? Did I guess right?
YES INDEED!!!
I inboxed it and low and behold a one owner Sharp GF 9595
A little rough and dusty as heck but put three double a batteries in plugged it in and fired it right up.
Well surprise surprise , I got it home that night and did a quick three hour clean up on it and viola. Spanking clean.
Just need to sand and polish the tuner dial, replace one antenna and battery door foam and it will be in very nice shape!!
Very happy. View attachment 9289View attachment 9290View attachment 9291View attachment 9292View attachment 9293View attachment 9294View attachment 9295
