On Sunday mornings I always go to at least one car boot/flea market, Sunday just gone I had some things to do so only had time to do one and arrived much later than normal, it starts at 7am didn't get there until 10:45.I always walk down to the far end and work my way back, nothing interesting and only two rows of stalls left, then i saw it knew it was a GF but couldn't quite see which one, got to the stall and it was very nice GF-9090 had a label on it saying £12 no less, I quickly made an offer of £8 which the seller immediately accepted
.
Here it is:
Best thing about is everything works just needed a little bit of switch cleaner.
It is very dirty but should clean up nicely and only has afew minor marks.
WOW!!!! very nice Dave,a great deal.
I love those flea finds!
Great score, congrats!
Wow! I'd be pretty chuffed if I found one of those for that price, especially when you least expect it! Looks very nice in the pics.
thats the way to get them.
nothing sweeter than the ones you get for the price of a bad fast food meal and bus fare.
Looks like you won't have to put in too much work to clean it. Appears to be in great shape! I love the metal toggles and buttons I bet its as solid as a rock. Nice find.
Peace,
Paul Z.

nice find, great shape to, congrats man
mrp32Dave, could you please post a close-up pic of the mains switch on the back?
No problem here it is.
thanks a lot mrp32Dave
only UK-versions (E) have an extra switch on the back.
Nice box! I have one of those but it's not in quite as good condition as yours. Good sounding model.

The only Sharp radio I consider their best, is the 9090.
hello mate!
its great to find a bargain isnt it?
i bought a gf9090 yesterday, at a local charity shop for £7.50. like yours its all working, sounds great for a smaller box and like yours only has minor knocks and dings here and there. there is talk they did this box in 2 different colourways- mines in silver and black. whats yours?
