40.00 for this Rising is a steal!

good luck...i spotted a Sharpp 777 but the guys is asking $500.00 with a lot of problems...i find that to be way over priced ...i purchased one for $75.00 two weeks ago with busted woofers...i changed them out and the thing sounds awesome...i think i like craigslist better than ebay...go fiqure ..

Congrats, I need to pay more attention to Craigslist now.

well at the time i had just got into boxes and did'nt realise their worth, i binned it on the beach front if only i could go back in time and rescue it

One of my favourite boxes bronxbomber !

I think it is identical internally with

the square grilled version, one of the greatest sounding

boxes for its size !! Beautiful too.

Congratulations on your purchase

 

Lav didnt know that story of yours !

Not the best way for the Rising to end its lifecycle.

Someone might have rescued it though.

 

Imagine a day that you ll find it, open it, and find

grains of sand inside !!!

yeah it was a great day on the beach i think it was summer 2008 and the weather was glorious but the day did'nt end well i think the council empty the bins on a regular basis so it probably ended up at the tip

Tape deck in the Sanyo M-X960 ' big Ben ' - Flywheel must fully complete it's cycle to release the power switch - back to proper operation, if needed spin the flywheel with your finger till you hear or feel the tell-tale click ... Tape-deck if not fully cycled will not release the power switch back to normal operation or control by you
