ITT Boomboxes

I don't know anything about ITT except they followed some of the other European Audio Manufacturers with amazing design. HiFi Archive has been uploading his catalogs to archive.org, here's some of the equipment I've been drooling over.

The full catalog is here, check out the other wonderful catalogs in his collection.

From 1977, the Touring Cassette 108, this looks amazing in red and maybe the first boombox that isn't silver or black. Multi-band radios always make the units looks much nicer and check out the tiny tuning meter. The other version aren't nearly as dynamic.

 

and some more from the same catalog.

 

From 1974, here's three models including the luscious ITT RC 2000, autoreverser probably has a closet full of these?

 

From 1973, the little radio-recorder could be considered some of the first mini-boomboxes.

 

From 1975, the RC 2000 seems to be their bread and butter. I thought some of these were mini's but they look huge next to people.

 

It's nicer than some all (simulated) wood-grain audio since they blend it with metal. I'm still on the fence with the horizontal recorders. We need a thread with the "wood-grain" models, there can't be very many.

 

Great list Reli, I knew two of those but it gets hard to remember all of them.

Funny how many stereo components came with woodgrain, I'm looking over my shoulder, three turntables, one R2R, one reciever, the rest is from the 80's, oh man I have to clean my office.

 

I didn't post the radio sections of some of these catalogs but it wouldn't surprise me if that was an AKA (also known as) and Gold Star made all of them.

 

Found some more gems, the ITT SL Series from 1981, this was the time when several of the manufacturers were putting out "flat" decks, it's pretty rare to see stereo models, most were more like dictation machines.
