i have these which im not likely to do much with in all honesty/ a trk 8290 and 3d80
i would keep the 8290 for a kitchen box but i have a nice one of those already.
the 8290 is complete - even the aerials are straight and with tips but it needs a clean. the FM radio works but the tape needs belts replacing. MW doesnt seem to work.
the 3d80 works but the surround button has gone awol. otherwise its fine but also needs a clean.
i try to keep my collection fairly minimal with only the best ones kept and the rest moved on.
so to summarise, the trk8290 is complete but needs a clean and belts doing for the tape to work properly.
the 3d80 needs a clean and a button if necessary.
both would benefit from switch cleaner what with them being controlled mostly with sliders.
looking for a trade or make an offer, theyre just sitting here unused otherwise which is a bit of a shame.

ok due to idiot bidder and then the next winning bidder not contacting me or paying this is going to get second chance offered to the bidder that was 2nd in line/
but if anyone wants this at £50 let me know asap as i would rather sell on here - or will swap for a nice walkman! a sony wm101 would be nice or similar
billy.the.binman - 2011-03-01 16:06

I am interested, were are you located.. kent.
so that is a postal affair, but i am certainly interested in this set, if it is still up for grabs
billy.the.binman - 2011-03-08 14:09

Not the most sought after box, but these sound very good. I have one of these and sound great with a cd and mp3 player. I replaced the belts on my my unit and the tape play sounds wonderful too!!

I know I'm kinda late with this but I'd do $40 on the big one.
