Great story of David Lee Roth going to Italy with his boombox in 1982 https://www.lethalamounts.com/magazine-index/2021/1/28/david-lee-roth-boombox-italy-1982 Found on Pinterest, is that a Sony behind Eddy and over on the Museum of Portable Sound https://museumofportablesound.com/
I was wrong, it's a normal vertical tape deck, it just looks like it's horizontal in the photo, mnt posted this back in 2015 on the old forum... A better photo of the JVC-PC-V2, Radio, did you ever own this model, any good? I kind of like the chunky, found in a dirty space ship look.
Oui j’ai toujours le JVC PC-V2. C’est un excellent produit pour 1987 !! Quel son incroyable pour sa petite taille !! J’aime aussi son look de vaisseau spatial
An article from Electronics Magazine 1986 about the relationship between Japan and South Korea Manufacturers.
Electronics Today International Australia, 1986. The AIWA V-800 Mini System, Fisher used to own this market here but I considered most of their stuff junk. aiwa went on to take-over and crank out all kinds of mini-stereos in the 90's. Personally I'll stick with the Sony FH Series and the other brands that weigh a ton more and have much nicer buttons, dials and sliders. I don't have any of these early AIWA All-In-Ones, I have to believe some were really nice before Sony took control and made them an entry-level brand.
The Toyo CRH-506 gets brought up once in awhile, they really look nice for a boombox from 1971, anybody have one of these, they do come up for sale and look pretty nice.
From Penthouse USA 1983, some neat stuff including the AIWA Microcassette Player which is odd since most of those disappeared after 81. They picked the goods ones, all of this stuff is very collectable.
Radio Fernseh Phono Praxis 1973, I can't read it, hopefully it has the info about the cool AIWA and AIKO, the full article was several pages.
