    Looks like a Philips 774! That will be one hell of a loud party there with the Rock Steady Crew :fisch

    Over on X, Chuck D's Awesome Little Machine. It almost looks more like the Sony with the W design on the front, anybody know what it is?

    Christmas Time 1981, git me some JVC! Surprisingly the Fisher Microcassette BBX is pretty close in price to the big JVC.

    Edge Magazine 1999, no price on the aiwa CSD-MD5 but that Sharp MiniDV is big money. I never got into new video cameras, they all were expensive and then the media was rapidly changing and also expensive.
