Hi everyone , im new here and just after a little advice please if possible. Many years ago I was pleeding for a Phillips D8614 soundmachine , I think it was around 1982 .... anyway one day it was bought for me as a christmas present . Can remember seeing them in an Argos catalogue (UK) for £199.99 so certainly not cheap when new . I loved it ... the sound was litteraly incredible ... soring highs with a lovely rich bass . Anyway many years later 2012 my parents found this in their loft and gave it back to me .... one problem is the last section of the aerial is missing , but asside from that its lovely . My question is are these worth anysort of serious money nowadays , non of the knobs are scratchy when turned and even the tape player works incredible !
I look forward reading the replies should I be lucky to get any that is .... many thanks .
