Looks pretty good at first glance, but I'm sure the overall picture isn't so rosy, given your description.... Frown

it looks like its missing a knob, cassette tray looks odd, tape door is there...

looks ok to me!

Awesome.

You now have a BIG project - plenty of people have Conions that need work, so you aren't alone!

Take it down the Arndale with it cranked up - that may cheer you up a bit!!

thanks guys..Same as i said on boomboxery..

Problems are...
Bass and trebble are none efective,the whole of the body looks like its had a full respray,the chrome side bars are bit beat up,the front control panels have like corrotion,like crackle effect,most vz2000s usually suffer the same,the tape tray sometimes wont stay shut,ariels not origonal,top deck sounds dull,it did'nt have origonal speakers,i fitted these today,fit perfect,4 ohm...
saying all that,i knew all this before i got it,so i'm still happy with it..i feel sorry for rimmer,he paid £450 for it..i'de say its worth £450 minus the zero..
anyone in uk with a GF999 or TRC975,maybe we could talk... Tap Toes

Anyone who's had dealings with Paul knows hes a dab hand at resurrecting a box - give this a few weeks and this will be one of the nicest in the country Smile
