Hitachi Ads

Big money but still good looking.

From 1973, this looks like it's the non-cassette version? What's the top box for?

 

Yes, it's a tape ad but I though it would fit better here. I wonder why more tape/player makers didn't do this type of co-branding? I love these mid-level Hitachi's, kind of normal looking but usually very solid builds and under the radar.

1986, Hitachi CP-55R, what is the headphone jack box for? It looks like it converts to RCA cables?

 

From 1983

 

Lo-D Jewel-J1, yep, I love the flight-case models.

 

It looks big but it's hard to tell. I'd guess late 70's? I'm a big fan of the mono boomers and as we get older, they don't seem to be seen as much as the "normal" boomboxes do.

 

I think she's a known idol singer

 

This one looks more TV than boombox but it's still a keeper, anybody own the Hitachi Mark45 K2?

 

1978, the beautiful K-50

Hitachi CAP from 1985, it this the smallest portable? I know it was in the running. I'm trying to figure out how the radio pack plugs in, it shows that down arrow, it must need that for power?

 

L0-D from 1989.11 According to the poster, most are just AKA's or made in Korea. I do kind of like the squarer models.
From tas66dc: The CX-55W is an OEM of the Panasonic "RX-DT70D," and the list price is the same. CX-CD1, CD2, and CD3 are Korean ODMs. CD4A is an OEM of the Sanyo "PH-CD500U." Only the CD5A is an in-house development by Hitachi.
