Today i found this beat up Sharp for 5 euros.

Dont know what to do with it as it needs major cleaning

and really dont have the time right now.

Passed on a Philips 8554 and a Philips Tandem 8334

a smaller Hitachi and Sanyo

Hmm that Philips 8554 would of pleased you in the sound department still the 555 is a good pick up but looks like it needs a deep clean

I ll see how this will clean up and decide.

Who knows maybe in the future i ll find a better one.

but must leave something behind anyway  !!!
