    1976, it was a battle royale with Pioneer and Superscope (Marantz), check out these new beauties from Pioneer. I don't know when Centrex came about but these are some of the better creamy crops from Pioneer, maybe that's why they weren't Centrex?

    The big one still needs to be repaired. I just haven't gotten to it yet. The middle one works fine and the first one I can't remember.

    Two CD players and a tandem-configured auto-reverse double cassette deck?? That is trick.

    Yes, I like those alot, they come up for sale here about once a year but they aren't cheap. It was definately a Sharp Statement Piece for 1988.

    Throwing down the gauntlet! I wish Aiwa made some true stand-out models in the early CD boombox era.
