2nd car boot find!

Clip
Right on the back of my first ever car boot find I've just picked up my 2nd!

It's no grail but its the mintiest box I've ever seen, it just looks like new. This is how it came out of the box, I've done nothing to it. Reckon its spent most of the last 30 years in its box...which came with it

Its also got a proper line in so I'm sitting in the garden pumping a bit of Newcleus thro it now

Got a soft touch logic deck that doesn't even need rebelting!

So its no grail but its minty, boxed, fully working, got a line in, and the best bit is that I found it!

It is the Aiwa in the best condition ever appeared in s2g .

Nice find! Congrats Northerner! I feel motivated to go to a boot sale tomorrow now! I went to one at 8am last Sunday and found nothing but in the next field there was a classic car show that I didn't know about so I had fun anyway!

Yeh I went to 3 over the weekend and found nowt so I was pretty pleased with this Aiwa.  Though since I've picked up a handful of extras recently the Mrs is getting a bit miffed and I might have to put a small selection up for sale or on the bay just to keep them under control and keep in her good books
