THE SANYO M-X920 IS A HIGH END MODEL PRODUCED IN 1980 AND 1981. THERE IS MORE TO SOUND THAN BASE. . . THIS MODEL COVERS THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF THE HUMAN EAR (20 to 20000hz), THE CASSETTE DECK PRODUCES CD QUALITY RECORDING  (when using CrO2 or Metal tape ). CHECK PICTURE OF THE GRAPH. IN 1981 I WAS 32 YEARS OLD AND TOTALLY TAKEN BY THE 1970's JAPANESE STUFF;  QUALITY WAS THE NORM. TOWARDS THE END OF THE 70's AND BEGINNING OF THE 80's, SOME JAPANESE MAKERS GOT IN THE TREND OF OFFERING A LINE OF COMPACT COMPONENTS WITHOUT CUTTING ON QUALITY.  THE SECOND HALF OF THE 80's DID NOT PRODUCED AS MUCH  HI-GRADE STUFF AND A LOT OF  "COPY CATS" JOINED THE PARTY LIKE THE "LASONIC TRC-931" IN 1986, MADE IN TAIWAN WITH  PLASTIC GRILL "PROTECTORS", CHEAP SWITCHES, KNOBS: ALL LOOKS NO SUBSTANCE....  BUT HEY, IT SOLD FOR $120. to $150. AND WAS AVAILABLE AT EVERY SWAP-MEET IN THE L.A. BASSIN!  BACK IN 1981 MY FAVORITE DOWNTOWN  ELECTRONIC STORE FEATURED THE M-X920 AND FOR ME IT WAS "A REVELATION". I BOUGHT MY FIRST M-X FOR $800. ( which was a lot in 1981 dollars) I NOW OWN THREE M-X920 (gathered between 1981 and 1992) PLUS ONE MORE FOR PARTS! THE LAST PICTURE SHOWS THEM ALL.  I HAVE DECIDED TO REDUCE MY "FAMILY". . . ( took a lot of convincing from my wife)  SO HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET A FANTASTIC UNIT, WITH ALL NEW BELTS WHICH IS A MUST:  ORIGINAL RUBBER BELTS LOOSE THEIR ELASTICITY  AFTER 27 YEARS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE AND THEY CAN BREAK ANYTIME ( I usually charge $175.00 to replace the belts on something like this:  it's a BIG JOB ). THIS M-X IS COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH, CLEANED AND ADJUSTED TO NEW SPECS; THE RESERVE REFLECTS THE QUALITY, CONDITION AND RARITY. **  I GET A KICK OF SELLERS WHO HAVE "THE BEST BOOMBOX IN THE WORLD" SOME GUY IN CANADA EVEN CALLED HIS "THE KING" Item number: 220272024957 SOME  S-T-R-E-T-C-H . . .   CHECK THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:  MEASURES 25 1/2" LONG, 12 1/2" TALL AND 7 1/2" DEEP.
