Sharp GF-8989 Joy!

Thanks again to Sinister for delivering a fine weapon... My first ever 'non-777-esque' Sharp GF!

Works great! A little use showing around the edges, but for the price? PERFECT!

I had so much fun on my last road trip with my Marantz along, getting together with THE FUZZ, and listening to beats in my hotel room... that I decided I needed a 'work box'. This is it!

I have to admitt I was so paranoid traveling with my 'above grail' Marantz (Quote - RBJ), that I started looking for something smaller with quality. This is it! Probably the heaviest 20x11 box Ive ever lifted!

enjoi'

Hi Jeff-Welcome to the 8989 club!This is my favorite boombox-period!!
I have so many memories and so many good times associated with the GF-8989..You'll love the sound that comes out of this unit.
They're very loud!

Thanks GB!

I agree!

I cant believe they dont command a higher price for the quality they have!

M9935K money for serious weight and sound!

Theres one up on ebay right now for a low BIN!

it was an 8989 that got me into all of this. I will never part with mine. Great box and for the price that they go for, well worth it. One of the most classic looking mid sized boxes imho. And...in the words of my girlfriend, "bigger than it looks" Big Grin
