I've got MONO!!!!

Well kinda, Wink I bought a very nice Sharp GF-6000 on Ebay.
I don't usually go for mono boxes,but this one caught my eye. It has 2 way speakers and seperate bass and treble and APSS and a cool removable mic.
It also has one of the best tuners I've ever heard,it really pulls in the stations from far away.
I'm sure it's pretty rare....Does anyone else have one? I'm going to give it a good cleanup and detailing.

Hey just think of it as the "Poor-mans JVC RC-550".... very, very poor man's. Leaving

I love that removable mic!! I would have bought it just for that nice little feature. You can also remove the mic... for a "secret stash"

Thanks Spud.
I didn't even know it had a removable mic until I was looking it over.
It even has a "secret stash" storage compartment on the back. Move over Salton Beachcomber....... Laugh Out Loud Nod Yes

The removable microphone makes this the James Bond of monos. Very cool, Skip!

I think the fact that it has AMSS is really impressive. Very cool for a mono!
