just been given one of these boomboxes for free,seems that the laser is stuck (jammed)and woulnt budge,but there is a little cover atop that that has tiny screws in,going to take that off tgionight and have a look i think-has any one got any tips for me?i want to save it as its an early cd box-heres a representative pic,sorry its crap but its all i could find:

There is one of these on ebay right now (or very similar), i think its about £40 bin, was thinking about going for it as it looked abit differant from the norm.

You cant go wrong for free mate, how does it sound??

Nice one Andy looks decent mate and you can't argue for free, I think the one your on about MJ is a Philips box

It could be

no azz bro mj is on about this oneits my mate who was listing it and once i saw it he took it off and let me take it-top bloke

the sound is very good,im liking it a lot,good bass,i mean it woulnt scare a 9494 or anything but impressive for a sir alan sugar box!i reckon it might even pre date the sony cfd 5!to be honest mj he had it listed as fully working,and though not his fault,it wasnt-he doesnt have cassette tapes to test the decks so did the usual thing of ejecting the doors,press play,saw the spindles turning and thought all was well,but it wasntwhen i tried it with tapes in the belts were too weak to pull the tape,ive rebelted one side and one side is working now but i just need more belts for the other side,and get the damn cd fixed!

but overall its a nice,and big,3 piecer,dating to about 85 i thinkthanks for all the comments guys
