    There's a lot more like this down in the newspaper ads section if you haven 't checked that out. I thought this fit the above two models a little better up here.
    The Pioneer SK-7 and SK-6, two beauties!

    A cool look into the past, Toshiba from 1964, The Japan Times, I love this ad! Just think of all the wonders of the 60's, tiny TVs, electronics without tubes, etc!

    I love how they were thinking about every application, I wish there were more photos around that showed the boomboxes sitting in their stands, chairs, etc. I'm sure in Japan, every inch of floor space is a premium, even getting a stand was a major consideration on where to put it.

    Good point. My first thought was someone using the stand to push a boombox around in a hospital or nursing home.
