Just when you least expect it, a Sharp GF-9696 crops up...

Just a couple of pics I snapped earlier.





I didn't realise what a powerhouse these machines were, things were a rattling in the room when I cranked it!
This is the 40w version and you'd definitely know it.
Additionally, the cassette sounds top-notch superb high freq detail and rock solid speed stability. Gonna try some recording later via the DIN socket all being well Wink

Ha Ha! I was waiting for someone to say that!
It's not actually as precarious as it appears although I would be devastated if it fell of course!

Gonna have to find a safer location for pics, it's just handy being near the window I can shoot without the flash and it's associated reflections/glare.
