Pioneer Z-50R from 1988, impressive specs, DAT in/out, Surround Sound, unfortunately Pioneer mini stereos were very rare around here expect for the cheap plastic-fantastic models. I had one that I donated to a better home, it must have weighed a few pounds at most.

AIWA VX-C27 from 1986

 

Pioneer X-770 from 1986, these look like monster versions of the boomboxes of the era. Check out the R2R cassette tapes, maybe the first sighting of these.

Are you getting confused? Me too, another AIWA V-770A from 1987, does the "A" mean it has the extra speakers?
