Hi Everyone,

Do we have anyone here how is a fan of 1980s 'boom-box' type radio cassette units?

I've got one of these to get rid of, and was wondering as to roughly what to ask for it and where to offer it for sale.

It's in good condition and works well (well, the radio does, I haven't got a tape to test the tape deck). It is made more interesting by having the original power cable, and the instruction manual.

Cheers,
Colin

There is a global demand for these items especially the JVC units. I strongly recommend that you obtain a cassette and test the item in its entirety as it will have a significant impact on its sales process.
You ought to place it on an internet auction site with an expectation of up to and possibly even greater than £300.00 if in full working good order. You will need to take photo's that show every square inch of surface of it and in particular the battery compartment.
If you come across a similarly operative M90 you could be looking at four figure values.
Good luck
Joe
