Hello Everyone!

First post on here but have liked boomboxes for a while now. Only had odds and ends really, but I now have a possibility of getting hold of a Sharp GF555 and I wondered if anyone could post a picture or two of one for me please.

Thanks!

Cheers for now,

Colin

See this old auction link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1702...e=2#ebayphotohosting

The box in the auction is missing a metal trim piece under the dial, but at least you'll see what the box looks like.

I'd say definitely try to get it, even if it does need a little work.

Welcome aboard!

Heres a GF555 pic for you.

Welcome aboard and good luck on your burgoening quests! It starts with one (the 555)...and, well if your married, lot's of "Why?" and "Do you need that?" And if you're not married you could find yourself furniture free and in a room full of boxes!

Welcome Colin!
You may want to turn away now before your consumed by this alternate reality we call boombox collecting. Your friends will think your nuts, your spouse will probably religate you to the basement or garage and your neighbors will warn their kids to stay away from the strange man with the Ghettoblasters.


But who cares? Have fun with it!

Top stuff, thanks very much everyone!

I will try and get my hands on this 'box, but it won't be for a while yet. It belongs to a friend of a friend, and is quite a distance away at the moment - but definitely a possibility.

As far as collecting them goes, I think I'd need a bigger place

Its a world wide disease. Even in my microscopic country I have gone from one box to ten in just 6 months of casual looking LOL.... And even Im a small player compared to my fellow countryman RAMBO/ESTRADA...HaHaHA WELCOME TO THE MADNESS!!!!!

Hi Colin and welcome.
Go for it and get that 555, they are beautiful machines and incredibly well built.

Here's a pic of mine.
