Scored a Watchman FD-20A
I found a Blue Sony FD-20A today for $4.
Unfortunately the Duracells that were left in it had expired in 2000 so they had leaked all over. I had to work a little to get the slip cover off the set and there are a few marks on the case where the acid melted the cover to the plastic. I expected the insides to be a mess but pretty much all the damage was to the battery holder and the outside of the case where it contacted the cover. I washed off the battery holder and it's not bad, just some discolored springs in the holder but I was able to get it to turn on and it works perfect. Set was built in May 1984. I saw another one of these in Silver (and not damaged) at an Antique Mall last weekend for $45 so I was happy with this deal. Here's a couple pics of it playing "Car Wash" from the Agile Modulator. |
