Sharp Boombox / Ghetto Blaster - GF-8989. Early 1980s.
They don't make 'em like this anymore. It's absolutely solid, in great working order.
Silver
510 x 284 x 134 mm.
Easy to carry- 6.9 kg without batteries
It's got 16cm woofers and a pair of "horn tweeters". The amp chip is a Rohm BA536. Output is 2x2.7W RMS minimum, 2x4.6W RMS maximum, and 2x8W music power.
Loud. Good mids and highs, bass can be turned right up
I hooked my phone up to it using a cassette ...tape adapter so I could play anything from Spotify through the speakers.
AC power cable included.
Fully working and in very good clean condition for age. Does have the odd age related marks but nothing that stands out for a photo of.
Mesh around the speakers is great, no dents, ( see photos). These are only mostly noticeable in photos or close up.
Works on batterys (not included). Battery compartment is clean apart from a bit of dirt. No battery corrosion.
Ariel extends fully and is not bent or rusty.
All knobs work as they should. Volume can be adjusted for each speaker using dual control knob.
Cassette player works as it should. Fast forward and rewinds at good speed without squealing.
Overall very good condition and would be a great item for retro lovers or collectors.
