Tanashin Denki? and some other transports.

Lead Fu from 1982, it has the same logo as above but I can't read any of it.

 

Some from MAIO Zhanyu

 

Apollo (Japan) from 1983

 

Found this cool ad for Sankyo in Billboard, right when cassette decks were going ballistic, 1969

 

I always wondered what the licensed by Starr SA meant on some boomboxes, they must have been using this mech for a long time even Tanashin was using it. Billboard 1974

 

From Press (New Zealand) 1977

 

From 1975, found a cool ad for Blaupunkt's Transport.

 

Found this transport on Amazon.jp, oddly the store for the brand is dishware.

These come from China with a Tanashin Part Number, I wonder if that's where people get the connection? I don't remember a new dual deck.

New TN-21 Movement TN21 Dual Card Cassette Deck Tape Recorder Repeater

 

This is interesting but I don't know if it went to market From HiFi Stereophonie 1981, Luxman came out with a transport that pulled the tape out of the shell to play it. Obviously this looks like something straight out of the prototype lab at this point.

 

It looks like VWestlife has been deep-diving S2G

Off some shipping info website, there might be more data behind the paywall. Tanashin was shipping something to Fujitsu Ten in the USA, I doubt it was random parts, more like a finished product? Fujitsu Ten (General) was known here more for car stereos than anything else but they had a ton of products in other markets.
