It's a beaty !!!!!!!!!.
I MOST SOUND EXCELENT, I remeber it was three way. I've only seen once at an auction site in Argentina, but it was very expensive for me.

Yes, indeed! Very nice!!

Very solid looking!
A real tank.
Congrats!

i this is the best looking of the sharp boomboxes. they look really nice.

Great box, and nice find, I love mine to bits.

*Thought I had those switch tips but I've got all the sliders and the big toggles, plus a spare top fascia panel, but not those two little ones, otherwise you'd have been welcome to them..

any chance of taking a pic of the switch on your 9696, want to see if there the same as the 777

Basically I've got a whole bunch of switch tips from a 9494 which are the same as the 9696.

I can take pictures no problem if you like, can't you compare it to your 9696 though ?

Like I said, if any of them turn out to be of use you, then consider them yours.

*If you want pics, I'll snap a couple tonight when I get home from work.

thanks 2steppa, the 9494 has alot of the same switches but not the ones i need, i need the 2 small ones that are for the tape postion (chrome metal norm) and the snrs on/ off. i thought you had a 9696, thats why i asked for pic to see it they are same as 777

Yep, I got a 9696 I can take a pic later.

I know the 9494 didn't have those little switches you mention (which explains why I cant find them in my parts pile!), I've got all the top section switch tips, which are the same (so is the top panel) just for future reference for you (or anyone else on here for that matter).

cool, do you have a 777, if so can you see if little switch's are the same

I nip home for lunch, so I took a quick snap of said switches...

Haha! I wish!

thanks , shame they are not the same

Very nice Geoff ! Congrats on getting such a nice one too. I have a mint one as well and will never part with it !
Oh yeah, i also have another, which is a junker, that has both those switch tabs you are after
They are not perfect, one looks like it was removed with pliers at some stage, but they are yours if you like. I can post a pic first if you want ?
