In 1985 when I was unemployed & really poor, I managed to blag one of these from a friend who was more skint than I was

Think I paid him around £60 at the time, the stereo was pretty much new so a bargain I thought!!

Now even in 1985, I knew that these were not the last word in portable audio, but to a skint pauper, this was great & after all I needed music just the same as I do now & better than having nothing...............

Mine led a hard life back in 1985 - Living in a house converted to bedsits, everyone would 'borrow' it if I wasn't home, many times I would have to retrieve it on my return

This is in ok condition, I have seen these before but in a real state so this one was worth a punt!!

These stereo's are seriously let down by the extremely poor quality woofers, unbranded & stock of the cheapest type, they are the main cost cutting stage, the main unit is very well made which meant 3 hours was all it took to rebelt & service plus a deep clean it

I will be looking in my spares for some branded 5 inch woofers sometime soon - until then, here she is all finished!!

Am well happy to have one again - nothing special of course but great memories

Bush could be considered the erm, lady garden area. I always found it an odd name to :blush:

Cracking box Nick, you really are the king of off brand beauties. I must admit you get these boxes i might have missed or not considered then i see your pics and think "Damn, thats nice why didn't I look at that!"

Well done mate she looks great. Love those dancing LEDS.
