At first glance your Sears radio reminds me of a Sanyo M-9998...and you say it sounds great? 
I mean, Sears? Really? In my time here I don't think I have ever seen anyone even mention a Sears radio, much less show one off.
Gotta admit, though, with the Sanyo-ish styling, it really looks sweet.
Do those mics really mount on the top or are they just sitting up there?
Now watch prices on eBay bump & jump.

. The mics fit just like the Sanyo's...same exact thing. I have only found this 1 Sears box since i've started collecting...and i love it. At night it looks great when it's on!
It's a Sanyo M9996 AKA - so it's a baby M9998 and I bet it sounds like a typical late seventies Sanyo - fantastic!!!gsbadbmr said:It sounds better than great actually
Nice one,
James....

More like a combo of a 9996 & a 9998, actually. I've had both and while the center layout resembles, as you say, a 9996, those speakers definitely scream 9998. The 9996's speakers have more of a molded trim while the 9998's are the black mesh grill look.jimmyjimmy19702010 said:It's a Sanyo M9996 AKA - so it's a baby M9998 and I bet it sounds like a typical late seventies Sanyo - fantastic!!!

It's an AKA of the black M9996:
I had one of these a few years back. Now have a 492...but still think about the ol' 480.gsbadbmr said:Anybody that has a GOOD 480 knows how good they are...these machines pump and they are HUGE and HEAVY!
I think I like it most of all! So, Sears you say?

Decided to put the 8 D cells in my favourite Toshiba (RT-9000s) and play some very loud, very solid-sounding '80s easy listening stuff. Apologies for the glass cutting treble, phone cam all sweet & dandy for 1080p vids but it doesn't do sound so well:
