Chinese Story about the death of the Walkman 2005 https://tech-sina-com-cn.translate....uto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp https://tech.sina.com.cn/digi/2005-03-17/1026553388.shtml?from=wap I haven't seen the Sony MV1 before, pretty neat looking, I feel like they might match a mini-boombox.
Some musings on random audio equipment including some boomboxes, lime green? yep, I'll take two! http://mitame.net/u4.html
A few boomboxes and BCL Radios. "fc2.com" seems to be a Las Vegas USA Free Hosting Company, anybody know more about them? It's one of the last with a ton of great blogs but for how much longer? http://rararadio3.blog.fc2.com/?cat=17
I think this is Korean, some boomboxes, Walkmans and lots of flip clock radios. https://kyourannonahanikki.blogspot.com/search/label/TOREC J-1
This is a big thread of audio from Korea, neat stuff and great photos, I love the look of this little Goldstar http://d-noz.com/
oh man, I've tried a few times over the last month and it looks like Video Koubou Topaz is down permamently https://www.video-koubou-topaz.jp/ Can anybody else get in? This was a very informative website.
No longer exists. If I view the last archived page on Archive.org, the following appears in the red block. “Updated November 7, 2025, Notice, This site is scheduled to be shut down on November 30, 2025” https://web.archive.org/web/20251113124203/https://www.video-koubou-topaz.jp/ Next, I find this page, which shows that the domain was sold in June 2026. https://www.onamae.com/auc/jp/detail/252355?btn_id=jpaucsp_top_domainlist_bid As discussed previously, information has been disappearing rapidly from the web for a number of years now….
I hate seeing these disappear, I don't know if you saw the news about Bluesy's NAK Website also getting yanked down. Luckily most of his' site is on archive.org but some of these others don't have complete pages or photos. Some of these sites were the reason the early internet was so fun, lot's of information on forgotten products or stuff we never saw as kids.
