Sharp Tri Mate

[Sandy G]

Had one of 'em Back in the Day. Mine was a JVC CX-500 US-It had a 4.5" color. Sold it, after Ebay got big, ended up buying one like it back, + its B&W 1st cousin. Good performer. We used to take it up on Yon Hill outside of town, & watch "Hill Street Blues" from a station out of SOUTH CAROLINA. Offa the "Rabbit Ears". FM section on mine VERY sensitive, but had lousy selectivity, but I hooked it up to a pole-mounted FM antenna one day this time of year & was pullin' in stations out of the metro Atlanta area, & outta Charlotte & Raleigh/Durham. Casstte door mechanism fiddly & weak, easily broken. Good clear crisp sound, especially for what it was. Plenty of volume, too-It served as my "Car Washing Buddy" for several years, & 6 "D" cells ran the radio for a good long time. I think you'd be happy w/it.
