    The Toshiba RT-55F from 1975, $116 USD is a staggering $702 USD today. This has been claimed to be the first mini boombox but Hitachi and Sony (maybe more) had beaten it by 2-3 years. Thanks AB388!

    From 1979, I'd say Sanyo had the win but all of these are great looking units, suprisingly the Pioneer is more than the Sony.

    HiFi Trade News 1983, big money but this model weighs a ton and has great build quality.
