    Welcome aboard!

    Very nice walkman and photos. I don't remember I ever seen that case for a cassette in the belt. Looks cool.

    Welcome. i'm trying to work out if the Sanyo is older than you.
    Here are a couple of similar Sanyos that were in the 1982 Kays catalogue.
    They didn't give model numbers though.

    My first portable stereo was also a red Sanyo, bought new in a UK department store back in about 1984.

    Those early Sanyo's are so nice, they even look cool in the case.

    Yanlo, are Walkmans getting popular again over there? I know vinyl is still popular but the Walkman Birthday seemed uneventful.

    A couple more catalogue pages from the UKs largest electronics retailer 1982/83 catalogue.

    The first shows their high regard of Japanese Equipment, while the second their range of personal stereos

    Yesterday the same company (using the Currys name since they moved off the High Street) announced that they would start selling JVC TVs with built in Amazon "Fire".

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-49584644

    Do JVC / Victor still exist in Japan? I think that the "JVC" TVs Currys currently sell are just rebadged Vestels made in Turkey.
