Nice machine, kongrats Smile .
Got some more pics to share?

Thanks Jens, it's a credit to this site that you can do that, even for the rarer stuff.

It's a very solid box, very sturdy, all bruched steel, not a strip of chromed plastic in sight.

I'll take some pics over the weekend when I've cleaned it up & removed the stickers.

Anyone know what could cause a failed FM channel, she just doesn't receive FM.

dirty or broken selector switch?

Yeah, tried that Paul, seems a bit more in-depth.

Anyway, spent a couple of hours yesterday cleaning her up. Good clean plus four new belts.

It's a nice quality unit with lots of metal. It has the same feel as Toshiba's Aurex executive line.

MAN ! I can't stop looking at the top sliders ! I love all the features and it looks very well built ! Bet it sounds real good ! Nice Score !

Those sliders are dope! Nice score.

She has a nice sound with a good range considering the smallish 10cm drivers.

I do need to fix the FM channel, it just aint there. I've checked the switch & blitzed it with cleaner.

here's a shot of the sliders

Aw damn, that thing is SICK!! Love the brushed metal. Looks upper class. How does it sound? How many watts? How big are the woofers?

Awesome, the metal look is great. That's a very cool and unique box but it must be rare, I've never seen one before.
