I hope the pictures do it justice because this is super mint. New belts fitted and it all works 100%. Did i say it is in MINT condition ?

Enjoy...

i think i just died and went to heaven and meet a angel great looking M90

absolutely awesome with all the manuals and stuff too how do you do it DOCS?????? a huge congrats here, you must be one very happy guy

Thanks so much for the positive comments.

oh so you got it docs...i was watchin this on the bay...not a bad price too

Yes I did.

forget the smalltalk whenever you want to sell it email me ill pay what you what ever you ask no questions period.

Wow , what a beaut . Congratz are in order

Thanks so much Eddy, it sure is !!

@gary davis you got it mate.

Sorry docs, it's quieter than it has been in the past around here. Time was you'd have pages of comments within a day about a find like this.

That really looks like a cracking example. It it in as good condition as it looks in the pics?
Mine is much more careworn

I'm guessing it was this auction:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...geName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
If so, you got a right old bargain there & no mistake.

Look on the bright side: if s2g was really busy, that sale would've been chatted/argued about on here ad nauseum & the bidding would've probably gone nearer a grand.
This time, there wasn't a single post about it...

Hey iso, its not a problem at all. Thanks for the great comment.

Hey rbj, they are blue indeed albeit quite dark but like a blue outer circle with black inner.

Yeh having seen a total of 1 M90 in the UK since starting collecting 3 or 4 years back I am still in shock that I actually have one now. Looking at it, I don't have any emotional attachment since I would have never afforded one of these when they were out in the 80's.

Visually it is stunning, sound wise it has a depth to it, really nice clarity and the deck is just superb. When it is moving between play and rewind etc it makes that reliable clunking sound that makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. The highs are super clear, and the bass is warm and surrounding.

The VU's are ULTRA responsive to the music and I found myself sitting there for 20 minutes watching them. The feel of it and weight balance is like all top quality boxes we have, it just oozes with smooth quality from the handle to the little green furr pads underneath for the feet.

To be honest it is still sinking in what I have. Some of it is the kudos that goes with such a wanted stereo, but in the main I love collecting stereos, its a passion, that reminds me of my breakdancing days, competitions, dance offs with crews and carrying lino around while a mate carried his Hitachi.

As a lad I never had the luxury of money so to get something like this now is truly an amazing feeling. Does the M90 stand head and shoulders above the rest of my collection ? Not really no, because to me they are all special.

aah, there it is - what we all wanted to hear.

That's what you get with an M90... the warm, fuzzy feeling that you've got yourself the very best

simply stunning top class awesome pics, that is what i call getting busy with a camera and showing a beautiful box in all it's glory in stunning detail, absolute quality DOCS

Wow! Not a scratch on that one. Wow!

Thanks you guys.

Wow is that 90 in great shape.

doc's that is a beautiful box. I always find it interesting to see where people keep their bass and treble controls and this is one box that you don't need to crank either one all the way over to get that sweet sound.

Thanks guys. Yeh Eric, this is one that you can leave them set dead centre without issue. I think in the picture they are wherever I left them last but for no particular reason.

Nice box, congrats. Also, nice tape inside - The white Omega is the best-looking reel tape. Very strange however that the mono/stereo switch is shared with the meter switch. So if you want to make the meters show tuning strength, you have to make the sound go mono? That doesn't make sense.

Thanks Reli. Yes true, what I do when tuning is flip that switch and get a strong signal then flip it back for FM stereo.

DoCs, congrats on the M90 best one I've seen in years!!!

Many thanks mrp32Dave.

Hey Docs, that is definitely the nicest M90 I have ever seen. WOW. I dont know where or how you could find one nicer. Man you are very lucky. An early Christmas present for you and one that you wont get bored with and can enjoy for years to come.

DOC'S the only thing i've seen in better shape then your M-90 is the one back in tha day sitting brand new in an audio display window.Hat's off to you Truly surperb!

Thanks you guys.

A real beauty Docs,your a lucky guy!

skippy ???

m90 = "FOUND"

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice going finally for you

Could be.........
I'm not saying......... quite yet.

Trade for a Sharp 8989?


lol

Stunning pics, it takes me back to the first time I saw an M-90 in a store front on Steinway Street as a kid.

That is no miniboombox!

Great buy Docs! I you ever decide on selling it and shipping it to the states I would pay a King's ransom for it! Enjoy it!

If you happen to see another keep me in mind. I'm looking!

Thanks for all the comments everyone, thats what this hobby is about, loving your boxes with your brothers who love theirs.

That is a nice m90 docs.. I used to have about 10 of them..I only have one left..a VERY special one.. you should be proud.

The camera flash maybe at fault here because the top trim is super clean without scratches. Many thanks for the offer though.

docs that one hell of a boombox as im new to the scene but i know that they are grails and also that you got it here in england gives me hope that one day i might get one your a lucky geezer i remember watching that on the bay and telling my missus as the price went up but to you and all us other collectors we know its truely worth it well done on getting it i also write this with envy lol atb daz

Thanks Daz, I really appreciate your comments.
This is one of those boxes that comes by rarely and luckily I was in a position at the time to get it. As a collector though I cherish all of the boxes I have equally, sure the m90 is special and a superb sounding stereo, but I really enjoy each of them the same way.

Wow thats nice

so how much did you score this little beauty for then?  looks deadly!

Very nice, if only we could get all of them in this condition, shame it hasn't got the box too, that really would be the icing on the cake

Would still like to hear one of these, I love the big ones, most of mine are ones that sound nice and and high power
