Found a Sanyo in a vacant house

Several months ago I was on patrol searching a vacant house for possible squatters. During my search, I noticed a very dusty and grimy Black boomBox in the closet. I didn't give it much attention and left. Tonight, I passed by the house and asked the new owners if they had an old Radio left in the house from when they moved in. They brought it out and gave it to me. It's a Black, silver& Gray colored Sanyo M 9923. To my surprise, it works! Antenna and battery cover is missing, but works. It has 2 red led bands on the left upper dial band area. Pics soon. Any info/history on it? Anyone with pics of a clean one?

Yeah, thats the one. Cracked it open to clean it up. I like the LEDs on it. Simple design- but "free-99". You can't beat that Big Grin Thanks for the pics.

That's funny, the one above and the one you had, had LED meters. I can't remember mine having any. Mine was the European version, and I'm pretty sure it only had a big FM Stereo LED. Can anyone confirm this?
