Hi, I introduce myself, my name is Francesco, I'm a funkateer since I wuz a child and I live in Venice, Italy! Finally, after some time spent on dreaming one, I've got some cash spare to get my first box. My choice would be between a Sharp GF9191, a GF9494 and a GF508ST. I've heard good advice 'bout the '91 and probably it would be the one which'll come as the cheapest. The '94 it's a 22w version. The 508 it's surely the coolest and, sadly, the most expensive choice. It looks as the japanese version of the '96 but I don't absolutely anything about it. I'll appreciate your advice for a newbie like me ! Have a good day !
hi there miami, and welcome
i am quiet a newy myself only been here 3 weeks.
my advice on the sharps would be go for a 9191, i have one and they look great and sound very good too.
hope this helps you
hey fran....i have the 9191, 9090 and the 9696....my advice to you would be the 9696...this box is definitely my favorite and it looks the best too.......imho

Yes, but I think all the lettering's in Japanese or Chinese. Welcome to the site!

Japanese.
hi there mate,and yes a warm welcome to you.
for me out of the models you mentioned id most go for a gf9494-been looking for one for ages, needless to say if you can lay your hands on a nice m80 get one-not the bassiest but a true piece of kit as we yorkshireman say-gorgeous looks and of course the all important jvc badge-but youre not having mine
great place to talk boombox, so youll be right at home here.

hey andy look at monolithic,s m90 on he,s avvy,
droooool
iv,e gotta say iv,e never really been into jvc,s, but i bet that m90 would blow me away
sorry for going off topic miami
I like JVC M-XX boxes very much but they're way too expensive for my budget. Time ago there was a beautiful M-70 (one of the best looking boombox imho) on Ebay that went for well over than 300$, plus shipping cost from USA to Italy would be prohibitive. There's an M-90 like Monolithic's one selling now, on the description they tell that one (always one Ebay) went for 1200$
!!! Mental!
hey lav that guy looks so cool,crouched next to the m90-looks that good it could have been took in 1983!monolithic-what a beautiful blaster-all i can say lav is.....if only.......
Hello Miami
Hello MIAMI
Thank you for the welcome and the tips guys
!
At the end I'll go for the '91 as both the '94 and the 508 are going out of my reach, I guess it would do just fine, it's a very beautiful box, good sounding and well put togheter from what I've heard, plus the fact that it's lighter than the other two it's a good thing, I want to use it, it'll never be left catching dust on a corner of the house with me, that's for sure
!
Looks like it's in good cosmetic condition. The seller says it works fine but needs new belts as the tape stops to play after 2 seconds. FFs and RWs fine altough...
welcome dude!!
