    A nice collection. The Aiwa with the curved handle looks very similar to the "Techniks" I saw at the local car boot sale. However, after copying Technics name they might have copied a genuine Aiwa design.

    Arrived today! Made in Japan 'System 300' detachable recording walkman with 2 band radio! :thumbsup2:

    I paid £5 for it & am so happy to get it home!

    Barely a mark on it just easy shift dirt & in complete near mint condition!

    What a little gem am looking forward to the restore.....

    Who knows who made it? I have no idea but it's a great find :delighted:

    General Electric 3-5219A, I don't think I posted this one before, made in Hong Kong I don't think it has the Sanyo Connection and it's just a little bit lighter duty.

    The Pearlcorder XR next to a Fisher PH-M50, is one of these the world's smallest boombox?

    Triumph SRR-1500 Radio Cassette Recorder Restore - 23 June 2022 (13).jpg Just restored this little gem!

    A generic unit - This one badged as a Triumph SRR-1500 & selling for just £49.99 in Curry's UK stores in Summer 1982! I know as I bought one back then.......

    A budget stereo but well built & built to last as this one has, needing just a very deep clean & a belt!!

    Another generic unit saved!! :thumbsup2::thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

    I was just thinking about you nickeccles! Great find, you have a knack for finding those cool basic units but just a step better than normal. Kind of like Crowns, most look basic but they're pretty nice when you crack them open.

    I wanted to pick your brain on restoration, do you spray controls to get the radio working or do you typically just open up, rebelt, spray switches, etc?

    Do you pull it all apart and soak the case in soapy water?

    I found this little beauty on the forum reader, member nevone posted it years ago. He has an amazing collection but him and AO have gone into boombox retirement.

    Silver Brand Boomboxes are pretty rare around here but they do pop up for sale once in awhile, the Silver ST2000X

    had a facetime with him yesterday, good old AO is fine and yes, he‘d gone in boombox and walkman-retirement, but beware of him, one day he‘ll pop in again :hi

    a radio tape recorder, and for me it was the discovery of Siringа 390S. I would call her the yellow chicken.
    The cassette recorder has been produced since 1983 by the VEF Riga plant.
    It consists of a tape recorder and a radio with a range of LW, MW, SW VHF FM.
    The tone control is made in the form of a five-band equalizer. All inscriptions are in Latvian.
    The price of 495 rubles is a lot of money at that time, the student's scholarship was 40 rubles.
