Why do you think Sharp started making a whole range that looked almost the same, theres the 4343, the 4646, the 4747, the 5454, maybe more?

They all seem to lack a bit in the bells and whistles department so im guessing these were a budget radio range to cash in on the boombox craze of the time??

They do all look very similar though, are they all similar size? is one much better sounding than the others?

I have often thought of adding one to my collection, maybe out of curiosity, but dont know which one.

ive got a couple,buttons always discolour on them,pretty cheap plasticy things mate,

if i seen another in wild i would swerve it unless it was boxed mint

Yeah i saw you had a couple bison, which models are the two you have?

Edit that, i just looked again and saw the descriptions lol.

i got the 5454 and the 4646 both found on car boots for pennys,

you should find one if you go car booting/flea markets they must have sold thousands,

gonna sling mine on ebay soon,need the space.

i would save your money mitchell theyre crap

lol, cheers mate.

this thread needs more pics.

not bad for a kitchen box but that's about it

must admit some of those cheaper sharps are awful deck keys feel like they bend when you press them

my fave out of those models is the 5454,used to have one,dont know what i did with it..they are pretty kool though with leds,shame they dont have slightly better speakers and bass and treble control instead of just tone..

Some of those Sharps were rebadged as Realistics.
