Got a new box today!
It's a Sharp GF-8585. The overall condition is good - although there are some faults.
There is a dent on the right antenna, so it doesn't fold completelly (If someone has a spare one, PM me!). Cassette deck works completelly, but there is disturbing hum while playing. The hum goes away when the edit button is pressed down. Too bad the edit doen't stay down without a toothpick. Also the left channel is almost dead, but not completelly. Does anyone have any hints how to fix these? A few cosmetic faults are the chrome chipping from the tuner mode selector and the APLD light has dropped inside.
Otherwise the box feels really solid and it is heavy for it's size.
Lovely midsize unit!
