Finally, a sony cfs-99 worth keeping !
Picked this up for 1000 yen in december. It arrived last week.
Very happy. Great big box, sounds good, looks good.
Very nice Royal®. I have always liked the looks of that model. Great find.
Love the quirky controls. Nice pick up dude.
Yes , I love that box !
Awesome!
I love the color of the metal trim on that bad boy!
Thanks fellas . . I got something else that will be delivered on monday that I had never seen before . . looking forward to it, hope it survived the 3 month journey as well as the 99 did !
I love the sound of those Sony's. Very nice, FULL sound. They made some good ones back then
Nice catch Royal!

There is not many nice looking sony's but this one takes the cake
Ohh Brutal!! I was trying to set up a mate in japan to bid on that exact one, but his ineptitude with yahoo.jp stopped the whole process.
I'm completely in love with that radio.. the only Sony I consider a true grail radio to my tastes.
Excellent score Royal! Glad to see she went to a very deserving home.
Rock On.

Congratulations Royal she's a beauty.
At this point that's the only Sony model I would add to my collection.
I agree with you both . . this too is the only sony I was after . . .

Nice Sony with an interesting look! To bad Sony doesn't get more love.

Very nice design.
I have always been fascinated by this model.
congrats on the new pick-up, it is a gem.
Always thought Sony went too far with the design of this one by taking the 'design' route rather than the standard brushed-steel/loads of switches & lights route. The overall result being a unit which looks a bit spartan in the functions department but poised and ready for action in the speaker department.
There's an auction for it's smaller brother at the moment...

Very Sushi...
That's a great lookin' box!
vladi has one of those. Never really heard him comment on it tho... Sounds like a winner.
Congratulations.
Nice one ben.Alway`s preferred the cfs-77 over the 99, due to it`s beautiful blue, full radio dial. I don`t like those painted on dials. Plus ben, the 77`s 1 aerial wouldn`t suit you eh?
