Just got a call from a local charity shop saying they'd got a blaster in so as its just around the corner I nipped out...and I'm glad I did!

One minty looking Sanyo C7 is now in my possession for a very reasonable £14.99 .  Got it playing in the office now and sounds good, bit crackly but obviously thats easily sorted.  Tape deck doesn't work but makes all the right motor noises so will just be belts.  Will post a photo shortly.

I have no idea what the rep of this box is supposed to be as never had a Sanyo...good or bad or middling?

i have one sounds fine to me and at that price has to be a winner , the belts are a little tricky to do its a five piece to .

5 belts?!...crikey

no i meant five piece box my bad .

Cool box and good price. Don't know if it's still available but there was a fully working C7 on gumtree a week or so ago in Norwich for cheap, I was tempted. I've got the C3 and C5 and I like the look of them even though they're not one piece machines.

Good score!

KND

ha! didn't even know it came apart! assumed just the speakers came off LOL

mmmm...minty  not a single scratch on it and clean! sorry the pics aren't as sharp as usual as its my phone

Is this condition also known as "MINT"?

Lucky you.

wow nice find,£15..winner

Lucky b@st@rd!!!!! the C7 is my fav Sanyo boombox. I find our local thrift store has "filtered out" the good good boxes and left only the eggs

that's awesome Si big congrats mate, looks minty fresh and for 15quid

iv'e left my number with local charity shops but had no luck as yet.

great to see their still out their in the wild, that c7 looks a beaut and you a very lucky man, awesome

 good to know that its someones favourite!...only ever picked up this one and a mint/boxed Hitachi 3D from a shop so I'm not getting many but they've both been minters!

There's only one old fella in the YMCA who bothers to check the 'wanted' list they have but luckily its the YMCA thats the only one that gets/sells such things so I'm in with the right shop   I think that it helps that I do all the shops every week on my lunch break and everyone knows everyone round here so they remember my weird obsession!

that sounds the way to go mate, and let them remember your weird obsession lol. as long as you get the prize nothing else matters. once again great score 

well done si good score mate...nice to know that leaving your number in charity shops can sometimes pay off....iv left my number in loads of shops but never got a call yet!

Congrats si she is indeed minty lad....and for £15 well that's 3 days smoking for me lol...i have the sanyo c9 somewhere it's probbly in my shed as usual

Congrats, that's a really sweet looking box probably the best score I've seen for a while.

I love Sanyo's use of walkman-sized controls on their boomboxes.

A very clean box Northener !

It looks beautiful.

Sanyo was a top brand and the

diversity of its boxes was unique.

excellent find ive also got my number given to certain charity shops just awaiting a good boomer like yours to turn up
