Lady Ayeka, Your Pioneer GR-777 awaits!!

[stuwee]

I got it*Hi5*,:-? seems way to nice, I might have to keep it and see what the fuss is all about *stirpot**liar**liar*:D:D J/K!

Original box, manual (with a coffee stain, I didn't do it!), remote, patch cords, and of course, the EQ itself!!

I plugged it in and "it powers up" as they say..*devil* I don't know if the crappy pics show it or not. I'm not gonna mess with it 'cuz it's not mine. It does look mighty fancy. You're gettin' closer to your dream system now! I await your response.

Your ever humble servant,
The stuwster
*devil*

thank you so much, man, you have been such a good friend to me, i SO wish i was closer to tucson, i'd visit you all the time!! i swear, craig, if i don't get to meet you face to face in this life, i KNOW i will in the next!! you know what, craig? this could not have happened at a better time!! i have had a literal HELL of a day. deric's mother is literally a clone of my ex-father's witch-bitch snake of a mother!! after a long day working in his room there, she get's a corn cob up her ass and suddenly decides out of the total blue to renige on the armoire that deric used up there for decades and THEY BOTH helped us drag over here to put in deric and my mother's bedroom a year ago!! she raises unholy hell today, claiming that she does not (WILL NOT, IMO.) remember helping us bring it over here, and that we took it without her permission. so now suddenly she's pissed as an angry bull and demands that we give it back to her!! my mother is even more pissed, and decides to give it back to them tonight and be done with it. so, in sum, we just got done moving the damned thing out onto the driveway, and they JUST picked it up. it may be a little hard to understand all this, but me, my mother and my sister's life has been frought by constant emotional turmoil by my physically and mentally abusive ex-father and his draconic lizard mother, and this whole damned affair today was way too damned much like the past. so, i ended up blowing up and breaking down, deeply upsetting my sister. i stormed outside by the armoire and was ready to tell deric's mother the hell off the second they showed up. he came out, however, and talked me down in his typically deric sweet, gentle way. he has only known us all for two years now, but he loves me and my sister angela like his own. he was once a shy computer geek that never had a wife one, and only a couple girlfriends in his 47 years on this rock, and was skinny and frail as as an ethiopian due to his adventist family's ill-concieved vegetarian diet. now, however, good food and honest love has maken him strong and healthy. he has us, and we have him, FOREVER. and there is NOTHING satan, that witch of a mother, or anyone else can ever do to change that. in sum, we have a LOT of deep seeded pain built-up to recover from, and deric here is TOTAL ANGEL FROM HEAVEN to us all, helping us to get over it via his unconditional love...

OK, the 90 in the beginning of that code indicates that this particular unit was made in 1990. i believe that this model was first released in 1988. is there a "copyright 1988 PIONEER ELECTRONIC CORPORATION" on the back?

good-bye AKAI, once and for all...

Ah, the poor Akai ;-(( , Whatcha gonna do with it? put it on "want to sell" on TH, see what happens. I'll get the 777 out to ya next week, sorry I can't do it sooner, I'm working two jobs and my hours are all over the place, there isn't a copyright date anywhere on the manual. Sorry to hear about all the probs. with the sperm donor's family, Deric is a lucky guy, and ya'll are just as lucky to have him. *Hi5*

[MacGyver]

well, if anyone's interested, the AKAI is fairly rough cosmetically, but fully functional with the manual. the chrome feet i robbed of a POS entry-level 1994 PIONEER laserdisc player, CLD-S104. not sure that i'd want to give those feet up, though...
