Hi I'm a Newby,
Been lurking, reading, concluding, buying ... moving things around lots ...
Wasn't sure where to post this. Was just going through a box of old things and found the original manual and Guarantee card for a Sharp Searcher SG-500E my father bought in 1979 and passed on to me a few years later.
One of these :

I guess it was a bit like a music system crashed into an Apollo and created the SUV of Music Systems.
Big. Heavy and loud ! It did have an infrared remote control which was larger and heavier than my FOSI amp....
I think it was pretty ground breaking in it's day. Automatic speed control. Touch sensitive buttons. Knight Rider/KITT style volume display. Automatic track search on the cassette.
I also have three pages of double sided wiring diagrams.
Sadly, I don't have the unit or the speakers anymore. I went travelling the world in 95 and didn't have anywhere realistic to store them so they were given away. The manuals have been sitting in a box and somehow moved with me most of the time over the last 30 years.
I also have the manual for the Goodmans Achromat 250 speakers.
No idea if any of this is interesting to anyone.
The 1 year Guarantee - this has expired ........
I think the main memory I have of the unit in connection with my father was when I came home from "Clubbing" at 3AM, put on the headphones and played some very loud music. Shortly after I saw my father looking pretty angry for some reason. Taking the headphones off I found I'd not turned the speakers off (there were buttons for the A and B channels - it drove 4 speakers)
