GF-9797's aren't nearly this good, I think the box is overpriced by at least $300 to $400.

GF9797

James asked seller a Q?

Dear mangenon,

well for a bid of that HIGH I would expect to see a link to see a little movie of this working in all functions: Cassette, radio, an such, with a Narritive you speaking, of it's operation on Youtube.com or tinypic.com or something like that before I would Spend this Huge amount of $$$ for this ($240.00 - I guess) when it was new. James

Very nice unit,that is a lot of ching $$$$$$ though.

Nice unit. But I don't think that unit came out till about 1983-84, not 1981 it came out after I bought my 9696.Can someone confirm this???
1981 seems to early for a 9797.JENS??

last year 2 of them went for 17 eu ,and 19 eu full fuction on eb.de.

so you`ll never know...

cit. METAD:


The sharp date code is on the serial number:
-we know it for sure:
-first figure is the year;
-two following are month.

??

Answer from Question ? and i dont undestand about ( and now this doesn't matter ) ???

Dear decentman4you,

I'm sorry but I have not any little movie about working function of this Sharp. When it was new (in 1981 year) the price of it was about $340 and now this doesn't matter. Thanks.

Just another example of how every Tom, D**k and Harry out there to make a quick buck is *ruining* the hobby.

also - i think this same seller has had other over-priced boxes recently that did not sell

It might be true that it was made in 1981 - here's a link to what little I could find on Sharp GF-9797 H

This IS the same seller who has tried to sell boxes for double and triple the fair mkt value.
he must be an Israeli with deep Pockets Because about 4-5 Months ago He outbid me and several other people on a sharp QT90,That went for over 250.00!
He turned around sold it like a month later for like 90 bucks,TART!

Anybody have a GF-9797? Bredgeo has mentioned before that the 9797 doesn't sound nearly as good as it looks. He's a Sharp fanatic, a great s2go member and has proven quite knowledgable so I think his opinion is pretty reliable.

I have 3 of these . Al 3 are built in 1981. What the sound concerns , the sound is very good , not like the big guys but well balanced. What i like most is the quality of the tuner. Very high sensitivity
