    Panasonic RN-Z01 from 1981, Electronics Today Magazine, it's not stereo put it looks like the mono/radio models.

    Sony M-900 from 1980, one of the nicest microcassette players built.

    Another neat one, I'm surprised they have an ad for it, the Sony M-305 from 1983, I think I posted my versions of it.

    Hopefully your finding all of the microcassettes interesting, here's some more ads for mono models, even though they aren't for audio, some have crazy nice build quality, I think the executives wanted the best.
    Sony M-203 1980

    Sony M-203 microcassette with radio from 1978, I feel like this was a direct competitor to the Olympus SR-501.

    Sony M-101 from 1978, I think this was the best-seller over here aimed at college students.

    A neat ad from 1982 for John Player, check out the Olympus with the optional radio tuner. Anybody know what the thing on the right is, with the three dials?

    it is a Minox miniature (spy) camera, most probably the „C“ model:

    that chain what you see next to it shOws something like a knot, that‘s a lenght-marker, to measure the minimum object-distance if you want to make photos of documents :wink2

    Thank you Mister Bond......It makes sense now with the "Swiss Bank?" Book in the case. Do you own any Minox Cameras?

    A late night BIN bargain, now I have both, the Sanyo and Fisher Microcassette Boomboxes. The Sanyo in the back has JDM Markings both have multi-band radios and are pretty close except for the case color.

    Thanks for posting, that's the first siting for me of the Olympus, has anyone ever seen that model before? mpr32Dave and Walkgirl both have huge collections but i don't think they've posted that one.
