Congrats

 

I'm a big GF fan so congrats on your find.  Is the woofer changed or is it just missing its chrome centre?

3malick - 2012-12-20 04:05

no, they changed, same size but has no chrome center...it s a shame but...looks like a pirate lol, with just one eye  

i m curious to see your sharp, where can i see your collection here on the forum?

you might be able to attach a replacement chrome cap?...not sure how these attach but presumably you could just glue a new one on...I'm sure someone will correct me if this is wrong

nice box the 8989, it would be easier to get a beater and replace the whole speaker.

failing that hold out for a minty one, their quiet a common box.

congrats 3malick

thanks Northener, you can do miracles on boomboxes , resurecting them lol

great collection, i m tryng to focus on sharp because i love theyre design...

maybe i will replace that woofer, first i have to finish the gf-555

Thanks 3malick. Sharps are good to focus on IMO as they're so well put together and therefore easier to work on. They have some fantastic designs too...I reckon the 9494 is one of the best looking boxes out there and just oozes quality. Good luck with getting the 555 gleeming

This is a Box to start a collection !

I don t know how it sounds but looks decent.

Congratsulations on your find 3malick .

 

I wouldnt worry about the missing cup as those are pretty

easy to come up with from a

beat up speaker .
