We never got these cool looking ITT Units over here, from 1980

 

Found in Robbedoes Weekblad from 1981, it looks like a comic book but I can't read it....

 

Standard from 1971, of course Marantz Superscope bought them in 1974

 

From 1977, a beautiful Nakamichi 700 with pricing in USD. It's interesting that the 1000 is for lab and instrumentation work, yea maybe I can find one in a school auction.....

 

1978 HiFi Stereo Buyer's Guide
The Nakamichi P-100 Audio Analyzer. Neat looking little unit, $800 would be $4146.00 in todays world, wow big money. I love the test equipment and it makes repairing tape decks a little more fun when your dialing them in. I used to look for these but they always went for decent money when they came up. Now someone has an app that mimics this unit.

 

1981, The Dragon!

 

1983, Audio Magazine, finally a reveiw for the Sony MTL-10. I haven't read it yet but I'd guess they'd be great for a business. I just like they way they looked.

 

This must have looked out of a sci-fi movie in 1977, very beautiful! One of the online calculators gives me $2300 USD, not sure if that's 1977 or 2025 dollars, either way it's expensive putting it into the high-end units.

 

1980

 

A seemingly rare Sharp from 1979, I bet this looked much more advanced than most back then.

 

The JVC LD-777, just a cool dream machine, anybody seen this in person before?

 

Tandbergs are going through the roof in value, unfortunately I've never seen one in person. From 1979

 

Another vertical beast from 1977, the Toshiba PC-6030 that looks fresh off the set of Space 1999.

 

1982, I don't know anything about these early prosumer digital recorders but they look like fun. This says it's the smallest digital rocording system at that time and was probably a stepping stone to DAT.
