r.o.y.a.l - 2009-02-06 15:07

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.

There is not many nice looking sony's but this one takes the cake Big Grin

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. Nod Yes
At this point that's the only Sony model I would add to my collection.

r.o.y.a.l - 2009-02-06 18:49

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. Smile

transamguy1977 - 2009-02-06 21:58

Very nice design.
I have always been fascinated by this model.
congrats on the new pick-up, it is a gem. Nod Yes

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...

That's a great lookin' box! Cool

vladi has one of those. Never really heard him comment on it tho... Sounds like a winner. Nod Yes

Congratulations. Smile

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? Wink.

Hey Rich . . You know me well. Hope things are as good as they can be over with you man.
