    Some neat AIWA Boomboxes from 1979, I thought these models were a little older?

    AIWA, they always had nice looking units and won an award for design on the TPR-501 Boombox in 1972!

    From 1974, the AIWA TPR-930, these boomboxes really were game changers with the ability to record and play in stereo. At the time FM radio didn't have a lot of good stereo content but I bet a lot of people were recording their stereo records to cassette.

    I was trying to find some Sansui Boomboxes, here's some pricing and a Sansui Boomer from 1985. Pricing is in Singapore Dollars, roughly x.75 USD.

    Bigston 1971, I don't know much about this brand, I always thought they were from department stores.

    Game and Watch 1981, it's interesting that it doesn't say Nintendo anywhere.
