A very nice example of this popular model from Sharp. This particular example has had a service, including:
*APSS and Record Switches cleaned and lubricated
*Motor Oil
*Flywheel Oil
*New Capstan Rubber & capstan polish
*New Belt Kit (Decktech Precision Ground Belts)
*New Pinch Roller
*Idler rubbers cleaned and treated with 'Rubber Renue'
*Head Clean and De-magnetised
*Mech clean and lubrication
*Chassis clean
*Radio Check
*Original aerials polished with the giveaway Sharp plastic sheath details retained
*Head alignment checked
The radio works on all bands, including the dial cord, FM light, FM stereo multiplexing, etc.
The cassette pulls nice and strongly with new belts for the main drive, auto-stop and counter. The APSS works, including the search lights and auto-stop. The cassette door is nice and clear, retaining the factory 'Made in Japan' sticker. The output is strong on this one (many examples have lost a lot of the cassette amp power by now). All the tone, balance etc sliders work.
A very solid, heavy unit! The handle is strong and intact, with very good chrome to the ends. The outer casing is in very good overall condition (please see the photos). The speaker grills are not dented, but 1 has minor marking, casting a few little shadows on the speaker from certain angles.
Packaging will be thorough, tracked and insured. Please note that the auction is for the stereo only. The power lead and cassette are for demonstration only.
