I received a text today from a local guy that makes his rounds to all the area estate sales, storage unit sales, and pretty much all other similar sell offs. He and his family do this as their main source of income. He said he came across these, and has passed on other that would've made good donor boxes because he didn't know of anyone interested in these. We struck a fair deal, and he promised to keep My number for all future radios. He also told Me about his friend who has collected the big Boxes, and has many just laying around his place. His friend has lost interest in them, and has begun collecting other things. He will contact his friend about sending Me pics of his collection, and what his plans for them are. Here are pics of the dirty ones. The Sharp GF9797 needs a battery cover if anyone has one (PM Me please). Maybe, similar radios share the same cover. The Maggie is dirty but, complete and undamaged. It has very low volume for some reason, but sounds good otherwise. The others are kinda cool too.

That Sharp having a digital tuner and full logic cassette deck was a sophisticated box :thumbsup: With this guy keeping an eye out for you on his journeys, you may end up with the worlds largest collection ever :clap:

That Sanyo is cool looking late 70´s- early 80s box, i also love the Sharp, it looks so sophisticated and i guess full logic deck and digital radio tuner were state of technology back then. I myself have Hitachi TRK-7990 with digital tuner, very accurate and way ahead of it´s time. :yes:
