My Toshiba RT-9990SM (JDM) - a good-hearted outlander from Islands

I scored this Toshiba more than 3 years ago in Japan, almost at the BBX hobby start.
I still love both Tosh appearance and sound quality, IMO, a very good one-piecer, classics.
The more's the pity that AFAIK 9990 has no direct analogues among Toshibas in the ROW, outside Japan.
I've stashed it away a while ago, due to the space limits, need to dig Tosh out and crank it up a bit.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

 

BTW, in 1981 it cost 74800 Yen, i.e. approx. 340$ at the currency exchange rate back in the day.

 

Absolutely gorgeous.

 

I would almost swear that my sanwa 4600 is an AKA of this model Toshiba.

 

Never seen this Sanwa or may simply don't recall this model from memory.

 

I almost prefure this to the bb40, you can tell this is a higher end box, just lovely

 

Quite the swing on that tuner (76-108).
Gotta love the JDM units, if for nothing other than all the labeling.
Very nice.

 

Beautiful box, love the styling just the right amount of chrome and control layout is about perfect

 

A super box love the Japanese lettering .
