Happy Barn Find...

Just had a cracking hour or so cleaning up and testing a sweet 3 piece I rescued from an old guys shed a few weeks ago during a house removal..was absolutely covered in bird crap and filth..I set about it today with some Mr Muscle window cleaner and it's come up virtually mint! Having tested it I'm stoked to announce that it's in perfect working order and sounds pretty nice too...
It's a Mitsubishi TX-L50 with a 5 cassette multichanger system circa '86ish I think.. Been blasting some Jurassic 5 with it.
Also got a TRK 8080 at the same time but it's not quite as nice condition,having been outside for some time...still sounds fine but cassette not working and a few bits missing. I have donated it to a friend as a rolling project..
Will pop a pic of the Mitsu up shortly........
