    Well today saw the arrival of a fair wait for one of my most wanted stereo's :wink:

    It arrived packed with....................wait for it :scratch2: :scratch2: :scratch2:

    Fucking WALLPAPER!! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

    How it got here intact is beyond my comprehension & on top of that it was filthy dirty & tobacco stained :crazy :crazy :crazy

    This evening has seen us spend 4 hours just cleaning up the front, the speakers & the cabinet plus replacing the 2 aerials (Got half a dozen of the correct aerials!) as they were both snapped!!

    These are so beautifully made & a joy to use - of course neither cassette deck works but they rarely do on these after a while!!

    Line in & tuner sound excellent after squirting all the sliders & push buttons, not a crackle to be heard.......the tuners are really good on these & even have a weighted tuner mechanism, a real luxury on a boomer :wink:

    Massive job ahead, these are complex beasts but I will fix this one - I love this model range & am going to take my time & do it right :banana:

    Images showing just how nice it has come up after tonight......I am knackered & will be sleeping soon!!

    Will take some daylight shots tomorrow too

    But for now :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:


    Added Today - 13 May:


    A Few More Shot In Daylight - This machine is so beautiful..............
