SHARP GF 767 FOR SALE
kriminel99 - 2011-12-23 07:18
Hi,
I'm selling a lovely Sharp GF 767 which I bought from Dave Bush two months ago. It's in great condition, AMAZING sound and is, as you know, a rare model.
I would love to hold onto it but sadly need the cash. I bought it just for the purposes of an exhibition and have hardly used it at all. It has been kept in a clean, dry environment.
Dave did a smashing job of remodding the speakers, I can't stress enough how great it sounds and they look fantastic. He also lubed the mechs. I was using it for tape and it worked fine.
There is a small crack on one side which was there when it arrived. It's cosmetic - please see pics.
I am asking what I paid Dave Bush for it two months ago - £325, plus £25 courier.
Will pack it very carefully. Pick up is also an option. I'm in Glasgow.
I will also be posting this on ebay and just wanted to give you all a heads up.
Happy Christmas!
Charlie

i can vouch for this box....its been modded by my own fair hands and tape decks serviced and pots cleaned..........those speakers have magnets on the back like dumb bells so its heavier than original............sounds sweet too......
good luck to who ever gets this beauty

Hi guys. I'm happy to say that I am the proud new owner of this GF 767 box (not the manual!). I was actually watching a nice looking GF 9494 when the GF 767 came up and had a bit of a 'f*ck it' moment. This is only my second box and I wanted to get a really nice one to help kick off my collection.
I have been lurking in this forum for many months, reading loads of old posts in order to try and educate myself a bit before parting with serious money so I'd like to thank you all for your wisdom. I bought this on Ebay before actually realising the box had such great provenance so I'd like to think your posts had helped me spot a good one.
Davebush - would you mind telling me exactly what mods you performed to the box? I'm basically a total noob so don't worry about going into much detail.
I very much look forward to being part of the community.

welcome mate, the f*ck it! moment is all to familiar to me lol
nice box to start off your collection
davebush - 2011-12-27 00:26
well muzzer, welcome aboard to the site....its a really cool place to be.....
if your a noob then, ill start with the mods iv done...
its had a new flux capacitor set to 88mhz/hr giving you the back in time sound flow....
its had the speaker mods as you can see.....centre woofers and 2 way outers......
pots have been blown & deoxed........
the clit-o-meter is well used and has always caused a problem with
the alpha`s of the forum...............
thats about it...........i think.....
let me know what you think

Lol, cheers Dave. I guess I kind of asked for that!
But on a serious note, would you mind telling me the practical implications of using the tuner with the flux capacitor installed? I mean, I rarely listen to Radio 2 myself but if someone in the house were to activate the back in time sound flow, what would happen?
I wouldn't want anyone to almost nullify their own existence after having accidentally stopped their parents from meeting. Some of my friends are dicks but I should probably warn them about that sort of thing.

Would NOT warn anybody But DO just keep your video camera handy for when your "friends" are around and the radio starts playing that 'back-n-time' music - you may be able to video some really silly dancing that you could use as

Hi i just scored a Mint 767 ,everything on it for 200 Aud but the right speakers have gone does anyone know where to get replacement ones? Or will any 16cm do? Thx

Not a surprise that after several relistings on eBay, this manual hasn't been selling at $250 (maybe someone should tell the seller that a PDF of the GF777 manual can be had online for nothing).
...& now the price has gone UP to $275!
