    That is a great picture showing the size of some boxes.

    I had always assumed the Sharp GF777 was the biggest box ever made but it doesn't look particularly big compared to some of the others.
    Really big boxes were rare in the UK. Conion and Lasonic weren't sold by any mainstream retailers and I have yet to see a GF777 in the plastic.
    In contrast the smaller GF555 is quite common. I have had two myself and there are always a few for sale on Ebay.co.uk

    Always good to see an exhibition of boxes and that is a pretty impressive wall. Yeh the 777 and variants is big but there are much bigger boxes out there. I’m in the UK and I’m lucky enough to have quite a few of those shown but all the ones bigger than a 777 were imported :)
