From Sharp GF8989 to Sharp GF9292 to  Sharp GF9494 .

Those are my latest finds so what will come next ??

Here is the Great Sharp GF - 9494X from Oct 1980.

Just found it from an advert at my local mini market .

Will need some cleaning though but sounds sooooo good !!

great pick up Deech, one of the best gf's

Oh yeah, the the big X is also on my list! Nice score! How big is the difference compared to the normal 9494? Is it worth getting one?

I think its not bigger the only difference is in the dust caps .

The -X model has chrome dustcaps and the others have black.

I  think 9696 is bigger if i m not mistaken.

I mean sound wise... Do you notice any difference between the two version when they play?

I dont own a 9696 but if you ask me about the 9494 it has a a great sound

Mine needs a little work but in terms of sound is one of the best i have heard !

Another great find Deech....!

Nice I got the 12Watts version of the 9494. It sound very good, but it isn't an impressive powerful machine. Hope to find the 22Watts X version one day too

Its a nice big Sharp Brutus and Northerner !!

Didnt know 12 watts 9494 models existed .

I only knew about this version (22W),

Can you post a pic of it??

(oh now i understand sorry for that Michiel you did wanted me to compare with other versions of the 9494 But i dont have one and i thought the others

were 22w tbh and the only difference was the dustcaps.Sorry for that)

Do you own one michiel???

it's a little to dark to take pictures over here, but it's the most common version I think. I see them a lot on eBay germany..... There is also a 13 watts version. And the mighty 22 watts version. I don't know the exact details between the different version. But it says on the front of the box.... Maybe someone can explain us the differences between the versions of the 9494?

Edit: I thought you had the normal 9494 and got an extra 9494X haha.. 

yep i got the 22w version !!!

there is no difference whatsoever between the 2 in terms of power output

Really??? You mean that the 12 watts version has the same output as the 22 watts version? Is it a marketing thing or what???

i agree...just a load of codgers

there is also a 40w version

I have a gf 8686.
It lost audio power IC, I can not find the number on the IC.
Deech , if you have 8686 gf for me please see your ic parameters

Thank you Andy!
