    Those headphones are so nice looking above, the headphone tech had a huge impact on the TPS-L2, otherwise it was huge cans that looked goofy as hell when out in public.

    Mike Moscow posted this in the old forum, what happened to that guy? This looks like an early ad, are they charging for the headphones as well?

    Longman posted this, the full brochure might be buried in the forum somewhere....
    Notice how they branded it "The World's Smallest Stereo Cassette Player" and not the world's first stereo cassette player (portable) which it has morphed into?

    I can't tell if this is real or not, supposedly a poster size ad.

    Plus the headphones are off and that was the major selling point of the portable.
