Nice one andy,but one word of the biggest boombox warning i will give you..if the belts go on the tpr990,please dont bother trying to fix it,they have the ultimate worse,most complicated decks i have ever seen,i bought a 990 last week for £20,spent days and days trying to sort the deck out,i gave in and scrapped it..its in a big box now in a thousand pieces...

I`ve had a few good fortunes on boxes over the years,got a GF9500 for free off Driptip,got another for £5 in age concern,got a philips D9644 for £10 on car boot,Jvc PC55 £15 on car boot...

just yesterday was an awesome find at goodwill an scr-8 for 6 bucks

My best finds at the bootsale were a GF-9000 and GF-777, for £10 each.

SHARP GF-9191 for 20euros.

Telefunken 1M for 15 euro on the flea market

9494 free from dump,coz they were in a good mood - every thing works and it's very clean - my top one and the best in my lot

My best buy from a garage sale is a Sony mono boombox (CFM-140SII), which I got for just $3.

Crown 950F for FREE from some old guy 6ft from the Goodwill donation entrance.

Very nice Sharp GF-9090 £8 from carboot.
A like new JVC DC7 from local paper £9.

pretty much all mine have come from boot sales. probably the best one was the first, which was a gf 9090 for £10. got a crown 850 for £20 and a few others which were good for the coin. random sharps and the like for a few quid.

recently got a few other boot sale wins in other categories like a 70's musicman sabre II guitar for £110 and a 1930's pyramid gpo telephone for £8

vz 2000 used as a door stop in a music shop 20 quid.
rx-c52 3 quid from my local booty.

Haha!! I think those days have gone, for now at least. I still hope to find an M90 for that price!

I'm sure you will R.A
