unexpected SANYO find

[ViennaSound]

Last Saturday was a big street flea.
This one is only 2x every year.

The flea was nearly done by me, except a few trash boxes no find.
In the last area, there is the childrens flea, where they can sell toys and so.
Hm, take a fast walk....

Oh, what´s between all the dolls and model cars.?
hey, a nice SANYO , with some childrens tapes

Took it for 5 euros, gave the tapes to an little boy next to me (what for should i take it with me?).

Ok, tape needs work, but i like it:

No really exote, but a nice oldskool one

Look at the aerial mounting

thanks to chris from the omnibus museum for this great flea tip

SANYO M9980LU

I love those 9980's. Looks really pretty when plugged in too since the lamps auto-illuminate. Over where I live, aerials not needed.

Great looking box, Roman!

Looks like it weighs a ton!

Congratulations!

That's one hell of a solid box, very nice....

 

[ViennaSound]

Thanks boys.
One more flea rule:
Look in every corner of the flea.
Almost in those ones, you would never expect an find!

Looks like it weighs a ton!

Yo, it is quite heavy.
First i thought about old batteries in it.
But i was only the weight of the box.

And it owns 4 wavebands and expanded stereo!

Those old small boxes, they knew how to pack all the electronics in 'em! If you opened it up, you wouldn't find much open space.

I just noticed that antenna! I think that's the first time I've seen the antenna mounted at the front of the box.

I have a feeling anything from that era will be worth alot eventually including the smaller types.When you feel the build quality,it almost makes one feel you live on another planet.Of course I do remember those days.I was very young and very poor.

Great flea find!
I love strolling over flea markets and then finding an old boombox and the seller has no idea about its actual value .
And fixing them up again can be a lot of fun
I should stay away from flea markets in the next time though, too little space

 

[ViennaSound]

...and the seller has no idea about its actual value .
.

The question is, what you can call value.
In the eyes of the most people it´s electronic trash.
The lady who sold it, was very happy anybody took it away.
And her son also, because he will get another box - a happy meal.
