I am not keen on weekends They tend to drag on a bit & going out is not really for me until the spring/summer................. Around 11.00 am the post lady delivers a parcel which changed my day completely Now I wasn't sure about buying this one, I was outbid a few times & I didn't bother looking up this model either............. Right at the last minute after resolving to leave it, something changed my mind & I bid up on it so as to pretty much guarantee I got it! Won it for £55 & had I known what I had just bought I would of paid twice that easily................ Next, I was chatting with Rudey & asked what they were like? - He was very positive & so I was quite excited especially when he said it would piss on my 7735 which is a real favourite of mine!! Arrived well packed & as seller stated it was crackly on volume & dirty!! Well I didn't need to open it up, just Servisol in the sliders & switches, cassette door removed to polish up the heads & pinch roller (very yucky) & a really good cabinet & speaker clean up!! Time to test on headphones while Big Tits cleaned the speakers up - I was very disappointed with the tape playback, very dull & woolly with a poor frequency response Now when you repair these things as long as I have, you usually have an idea what the problem could be I thought surely the azimuth can't be as far out as to produce these symptons??? It was over 4 full turns out, the locking screw received a tiny dab of locking glue after adjusting & cleaning the head again!! So far an easy Saturday I pondered as I refitted the cassette door not realising the best was yet to come! These stereo's are simply stunning, not only does it look gorgeous now with only 1 tiny scratch on 1 speaker, it sounds f**king amazing How did Sanyo make such amazing mini's?? This is simply breath taking for such a tiny machine!! Both tuner & tape are above excellent performers If you spot one going, grab it!! Seriously you'll be glad you did!! So it turned into an amazing day for me - I can't stop looking at it & smiling.............It now lived on my computer desk right in front of me Ok so here she is:
Very nice pics. I wish we all took pics this good. Great box too. never seen this model before. Anyone else?
