Latest Prey :)

Here it is, my latest prey a SHARP GF-515 !!

 

I was feeling disappointed today at the market because i

hadnt found anything i liked and the guy who promised me the lasonic

last week was not there.

 

As  i was about to give up, a familiar shilouette was calling from 10

maybe 15 meters away on the other side of the road !

I took a few steps and here it was the very well known gf 515 !!

 

It is in a nice condition but it has an issue, when i power it up

it seems like the second deck wants to play and makes a repeated

''klik'' sound without having it on tape mode every 5-6 seconds.

I dont know what it is but its quite annoying.

Nevertheless the radio tunes in just fine.

 

PS:The 1s pic shows an akai which i didnt buy.

flea market is a fine thing because often find beautiful boom boxes
and very inexpensive

It had a bended carrying handle other than that it was ok.

5 euros was a nice price but didnt take it for space reasons and

for thoughting it was more on the ugly side imo. Here is a link with

pics from this akai.
