Aggreed this Box is a Seriously HEAVY and if you ever open one of the model's style'd like this model and a few other's that are similar to this line/Brand you will notice heavy thick plastic and STEEL Plate mounting's inside not Sheet steel like in 'other' boombox's.

Nice brochure.....I'm just not a big fan of their looks.  They look like a kitchen appliance

There are a lot of these in the UK.  A very nice solid box with battleship looks. Slightly tough on the eye though.

I know this topic posting is over four and a half years old, but permit me to say that it's interesting to see those Sharp-brand audiocassettes "ghosting" their way into --or out of -- the twin cassette decks. AO succinctly describes this stereo, the Sharp GF-666, as having "battleship looks." He next observes: "Slightly tough on the eye[,] tough."

I'm inclined to agree: this start-of-the-Eighties, hellish-model-number effort by Sharp takes some looking over -- and, more likely, some handling -- to grow to appreciate its pseudo-military chic and construction quality. It does look a bit like what the German brands ITT or Telefunken would have turned out in the early 1970s if they tried to make a dual-cassette-deck machine -- I shruggingly suggest.
