Description
Sharp GF-8080 Radio Cassette Recorder. Here we have a lovely example of a vintage Sharp Radio Cassette Recorder in full working condition. Made in Japan. It has been serviced, and in very clean condition for its vintage. I have been using it for background music during BBQs during the nice weather. It has just had a new belts fitted. Additionally, the head, capstan, pinch roller and pulleys & idlers have been cleaned. The switches have been cleaned, and the internal & external casings have been hygienically deep cleaned & polished. All cassette functions perform correctly. The transport controls move freely but with reassuring feedback. The eject mechanism works perfectly, and the APSS functions correctly - including the large green telltale light. The radio is very clear - including FM stereo, and the aerial is original, fully intact and corrosion free, with the tip still present. The handle chrome ends are in super condition. This unit has built in stereo microphones, plus external stereo mic inputs (with remote pause facility), a headphone socket and stereo external speaker outs to really provide some clout. There is also a DIN socket for versatile integration with other systems. The battery cover is present and snaps in reassuringly. It has been stripped, hygienically deep cleaned and polished as part of the service. The unit is in excellent condition for its age with all original knobs, switches etc present and in working order. She is over 40 years old, so please remember that you are not buying a new unit - there are of course some minor signs of wear associated with decades of enjoyment/decorating company etc! Please see the photos of the actual item for sale, as they are an important part of the description. However, it is a great sounding (and loud for it’s size) unit, having just been serviced - so it’s ready to go - either as an object dart, or a cool retro radio cassette for the home or studio, etc. A lovely, portable, vintage but functional item! Please note: The auction is for the unit only. The power lead in the video is for demonstration only, as they are very cheap to buy but a hazard to post with fragile vintage stereos.It will not be economy delivery - Postage will be well packaged, tracked and insured. It is a particularly heavy, solid and beautifully built item - so the postage reflects this. Thanks for watching. Please check out my other items and feedback!
