Dont have one to compare it to but

looks minty fresh Stereo !!!

Nice addition mate, way to go !

thats a beauty top condition to,  very underated box and yes they are more bassy than the 920 but not as clear imho  

You are right about the sound. The 920 is more sophisticated both in sound and operation but the 9998 is a bruiser. One of my favourites and full of surprises. Good score Lee.

Looks like new indeed! Tapehead looks like it just left the factory! What a nice find! 

Who in their right mind would leave this gem in a box for most of it's existance??

I vote....SCORE OF THE YEAR

Nice score! especially in that condition, never heard one before but it looks very solid.

i just got one too a couple weeks ago, not as minty fresh but a definite 8/10 all around & i agree, it does sound fantastic, it's built to fuck shit up. congrats on an awesome score, enjoy it!

That is one truly beautiful stereo. Mint and complete. I bet there are not many in that sort of condition. It ticks all the right boxes for me! Congratulations on a fantastic find!

(P.S. What’s on the demo tape!)

Yes but at least it's half decent! (Thats assuming that it is the Animals doing it and not some cheesey cover version!)

Scroll up....iv just aded a pic of the demo tape

Thanks, thats cool, hope it is the original artists

Cheers!

i was keeping an eye on it,if i had known how good it is i would have bid on it probably

but the postage was expensive though and would have limited the final bid amount.

still what a gem it is and in good company and one great sounding box also.

congrats stereo mad, that unit sure is a keeper, i used to have one very solid and heavy too, a bit short but the mics make up for it, what a way to end the year 

 wow! amazing! congratulation!

You must be feeling as if you got a time machine and bought it from the showroom yesterday.

Nice one Lee...i forgot about this one...and yup they do sound better than the 920

both great boxes though

that's a wonderful box Lee, one of my favorites! superb score

I'll have to disagree...a friend and I did an unbiased soundoff with 2 similar condition 9998k and 2 similar condition 920's with caps and pots replaced and trust me when I tell you it wasn't even close. Sound clarity, bass response and soundstage all went to the 920. When playing a cassette tape the distance grew further. I like the 9998k, but love the 920.

nice to see there are still boxes as original as this out there! nice score Lee! you can now use the mics to record yourself having a karaoke style singalong to some of your fave tunes!

That is something most of us don't have the luxury or skill to do but i agree most of these boxes would benifit hugely after a re capping also the sanyo 920 looks much nicer imho

Lee, do you have two of these now????

I think that might be what i was thinking

Very nice purchase btw

Great sounding unit!!!

well done lee-im always amazed at how sexy these sanyos look-always admired them-and to find it in the original box,with mics etc is a dream come true-one of the best sanyos alongside the 920 in my book so blast it loud lee and be proud

Absolute beauty, I had a look at this to but have spent waay too much on boxes lately so help off. The 920 is my personal grail but I may  have to investigate one of these as it looks awesome and they seem a little easier to find. Great score.

I was offered one of these for £75 a few years back. It was brand new and boxed complete with mics etc,but it's not really my cup of tea. I asked if any members here were interested in it, and offered to buy it on their behalf but surprisingly there was no takers.
