These are cool machines,i used to have one,bought it for £15,sounded great,simular to the 8989,it was mint when i bought it,but over time the front panel started getting pit/rott so i sold it,thats the worst thing that happends to them and theres nothing you can do about it..

lovely pic, az mate-looks good-like i said tho before mate its a bit too 8989 for me thats why i didnt get it.you deserve a good box tho mate-glad youve got it after recent events.there will be many a member on here who will love to see it-well done fella,well done son
just picked up the 8585,6161 and sanyo mw 2 and they are all fantastic.the 8585 brings back such good memories for me-one of my first boxes originally.so weve both had a sharp day, matee

aahhh!!! beautifull manchine lav. nice pic thanks for sharing.

i always fancied on of these lav but never got round to it

cheers for the comments guys also goy my blockbuster today from the depot, very nice undamaged too, just at a cost of £42 quid

Niiice , your making me all misty eyed wish i had one.

Trade you a very nice egg for it

AWESOME BOX! congrats

thanks muto
and ade maybe one day i will give one of them eggs a go or maybe i won,t

Good box, the 9797. Sounds good, look`s good. I had a beauty.

thanks litfan

No probs. The 9797, share`s the same deck as the 8989. Just a slight difference in pause buttons. I used a scrap 8989, to repair my 9797. Perfect.

hey cool stuff, i thought the 9797 looked similar to the 8989 as iv,e had both, the 9797 is better in my opinion though with more functions, and of course the very cool digital tuner

I agree. Though, the digital tuner on the 9595, is better quality.

never had the 9595 litfan but maybe one day

Get one, if you can. Old style piano key cassette, but, solid. Ben (royal), took the speaker grilles off his.

i do like the gf models litfan, had a few and i love the 9191 i have i believe the 9696 is the top 1 but i don,t like the look of it would,nt mind a 9292

These gf`s are ok. The only problem, is, the capstan idler, which perishes over time. Replace this, your`e away.

cheers for your input LITFAN

I like it has a hitachi look about it though or visa versa, i did have a chance last summer to buy a 9696 the misses though would'nt hear of it he was selling it for $100.00 can and darn near mint too

a 9696 for $100 and you missed out on it tell ur missus to give her head a wobble PIONEER

Now WHY doesn't the Sharp GF-9797 tune shortwave
(designated "SW") as well as tuning or INSTEAD
of tuning longwave (LW)? Is the '9797 a Europe-
only model? I ask because most vocal-content LW
broadcasts (news, music, etc.) transmits inside Europe and often doesn't reach the New York City area of North America where I live.
