You could take a punt on this and see what's wrong with it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHARP-VZ2000-vz-2000-vz-...
Ultimate ghetto blaster for some because of its record player which could play either side without having to remove the disc.
Thanks, but I think I will give that a miss.Ultimate ghetto blaster for some because of its record player which could play either side without having to remove the disc.
I wonder if there is an Aladdin's cave type of shop somewhere where they stock vintage unmolested pristine examples like the ones above??

OP, it's absolutely none of my business, and tell me to do one if you wish, ....but why?
Mostly a nostagia thing. I have two 80s classic cars with the original Blaupunkts in them, and I always thought big ghetto blasters sounded great and looked great. I am also looking for a decent Reel to Reel and even a Betamax video cassette player.I need to find a classic Hifi specialist or a similar vendor who loves restoring these classic icons to their original condition.

I'll never forget one Autumn night in 1983 in a local underpass. We were all 14 years old and one mate who was a bit older turned up with a huge portable stereo (it seemed it at the time anyway, I've got exactly the same one upstairs at the moment).
On went Streetsounds Electro 1. It blew us all away! What a moment, and it was partly down to how loud that thing was!
Oh, and it had VUs and LEDs similar to the Philips above. Happy days!

I reckon that at anything up to £50, it's a nice curio to have in the home. Beyond that...I'm oot! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JVC-RC-M90LD-/1418694833...

Too horrid looking.UPDATE: I decided to go for the National (Panasonic) RX-7200 a rare Japanese only model with a modified tuner and PSU. It's all been refurbished inside too.
Here's a video of it which the seller sent me.

And yes it would be too rude to ask how much I have paid for it...
