    This A.B.A. Jumbo MG-6000 appeared in the movie "Friday" with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker. Member "Deech" (Dimitris) sent me it all the way from Athens Greece, wrapped in special commercial-grade bubble wrap he got from a furniture store. :eyepopping:

    Now this is not a very high-quality radio, but it is big and I love its styling, especially how the tweeters are partially covered (perhaps by accident?), and the cool frequency graphs above the tape deck, and especially the beautiful metal-skinned knobs with the perfect grip surface. :nodding:

    A trade made in heaven! :applause

    It looks like it has a gold tint to it and it's in excellent condition. Boxes with two antenna's always score a few more beauty points! On another note, I'm glad you found some bubble wrap, there's a thread somewhere about the shortage of it over in Europe....

    Maybe by accident or else was it a designer idea? ;) Who now knows? Looks a bit strange but, yeah, kinda unique and
    definitely interesting. :)
    May I borrow those good photos to share them with my forum guys?
