From the "Just When You Thought You'd Seen Them All" Dept. comes this striking blue-and-white Sharp QT-V5. I was the high bidder for it recently in an eBay auction by "csievanen" (a great seller, by the way).

Until that auction, I thought QT-5's were just ordinary pastel, deco, "fashion" (translate: girlie) radios... mono versions of the stereo (and more common) QT-50, and not exactly on anyone's "most wanted" list.

Well... it turns out there's a big difference between a QT-5 and a QT-V5! Check out the photo below.

The "V" is royal (not pastel) blue, has a black (not grey) middle, and has a tuner trimmed all in white, with colorful lines on the top and bottom. So bright I've got to wear shades!

Isn't boombox collecting fun?

Those are slick looking mini's wih great retro art deco looks. Nice Boomer!

it does make your other 3 rather 'delicate' looking

Aww, they look so sweet!

totally. there is a def difference,def agree prob the main reason for it being overlooked.Nice one BB!
Really like the color contrast of the blue and white very clean looking!

No doubt, these are "cutie pies"
Even by themselves, they are a great collection.

What a difference a V makes!

You got that right!

Those are beautiful!

The blue V one is the best looking!

But it does seem 2 pictures do not work

Well, now that's a bit confusing.
I too have a Sharp QTV5E & it looks like this:


Often the last letter of a model number denotes the area of sale (E being for Europe). That would make the model numbers the same.
It's a nice little performer too - it's a DVD player!
