For some reason I can not find any JVC M90 Ads but there's a ton of other boomboxes they did advertise heavily especially in the 70's.
Just hanging out on Pinterest and found this gem, the JVC RC-717, you have to love truthful advertising, it's an amazing 1.8 watts a channel! This might be the only boombox with moveable mics, those tiny mics can rotate 90 degrees. It must not have worked well since it quickly disappeared. It's hard to believe this was close to $500 USD when it came out around 1978.
I guess the M90 was too esoteric to merit advertising. On the old forum @retro mentioned that Bloomingdales sold the M90. http://www.stereo2go.com/topic/index.php?content_oid=494451095096640630&board_oid=193392314111653340 About the only place we have heard of selling it. Anyway, I have read that in the 1980s 70% of Japan's electronic exports were VCRs which is why they were putting money into adverts like this p.s. Why am I thinking the young lady at the start looks like she has had an accident with an Electrical Socket
they sold the m90 in manchester an ol friend saw one back in the day, that advert looks like it was newer than the m90 period imho
He is due for a call buddy i'll ask him tonight, i do know it was a customer return and there was only one amongst many boomboxes
I'm a huge fan of some of 70's mono boxes, JVC had some of the best and I recently picked up a 9210E and was looking for information and found this ad. There's not much out there but Radio Museum says these were from 1975. There is a "B" version, AM/FM only, oddly it has a battery/VU meter under the radio dial that the pictured model is missing.
