    Been After One Of These In Minty Condition For Years!!

    Here we are in 2018 & somehow I manage to find this Silver SR-8800L in stunning condition for just £22 [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Unusually the tape 2 playback deck works just fine these are usually dead, so it's just the main cassette deck I have to repair.............

    These are one hell of a boombox - Huge, powerful & built like a tank!!

    Great quality powerful amp section delivers what I can only describe as a sound to die for - Sheer quality & I often wonder why these don't get more recognition in the boomer community [​IMG]

    I love them & this has to be my find of the year so far...........Still cannot believe the condition of this one, just one tiny ding at top of tuner scale!!

    Tuner & Tape 2 fully working - The video is my tiny bluetooth adapter connected to line in!!

    You will NEED headphones or decent desktop speakers to get some idea of the huge sound these produce & of course no substitute for being here in front of it [​IMG]

    Absolutely over the moon that I found this one.............

    Et Viola:

    I love the horizontal tape deck, I always wonder what the thinking was behind these, I feel like they got a hold of a skid full of old car stereos that they reworked. Silver is such a small brand I've only seen the one I posted that was for sale locally and never seen one in person. Yours looks brand new, the condition is amazing, your coming up with some really clean boxes.

    Wow that's an amazing find! I like the look of this one, really clean lines and kind of retro-futuristic.

    It looks very clean and shiny. I had this model about 2 years ago traded with a friend.
