Mini Stereos and Cool Car Compo Ads

Sansui even got into it, from 1999, unfortunately it just doesn't have the pull like the stuff from the 70's. The stand is very goofy looking but the tape deck is very interesting and small.

 

Woow, so I looked over on ebay and found this sticker on a JVC Unit, it says "Manufactured At JSC" on the 2nd line. I check AI and it came up with this.

 

1980 Philips, you have to love the digital tape counter and those might be some of the smallest touch-controls on the tape deck. There's a tiny Sony Microcassette Player that might be close in size.

 

Grundig 1980, nice looking equipment and very German with the abundance of buttons and knobs.

 

1980 Blaupunkt, just when they were getting ready for the USA Invasion. We loved the sound of the name and they seemed to be marketed on the high end.

 

I like the tiny buttons, AIWA was the king in the early 80's with them.

 

Funny, he's playing Keri Noble, I used to watch her locally down in a sketch part of town at a cool music bar. My buddy said she was big in Japan in the mid-2000's but then went on to be a local DJ until a few years ago.
