National Boomboxes from 1988

 

National RX-C45F Compo from 1983 (Singapore), this is saying 40 watts making it a pretty powerful boomer but are they using the old standard?

 

Some nice JVC's from 1981, price is in Singapore Dollars

 

1982 Singapore, there's a Besser Kangaroo Model on here just like I posted in that thread, it was actually pretty expensive back then.

 

JVC M70 from 1979

 

Sony 1984, some neat stuff, I think every product on here is higher up on the quality scale. There's a very rare sighting of the sawblade turntable, the PSQ-7, prices are in Singapore Dollars, roughly .75x USD.

 

Some Sony Walkmans from 1986

 

Sony from 1985

 

Sony WM-BF67 1988

 

Some ads from 1981 and 1982 for the amazing National Panasonic RX-2700, it looks like they thought pretty highly of this model. I have not seen those square headphones, anybody have a pair?

 

Some neat National Panasonic Products from 1981, check out the very rare listing for the RS-J1, Techmoan did a video on that model but it was the more common Technics Version. Looking at the discount, it must not have been a popular unit.

 

I can't believe I found this, the Sony PB-10! From 1981, this is a really nice, playback only unit, maybe the only boombox without a radio, from the old days. I was thought this was for the busy music executive to put on his desk to listen to tapes all day. Just a beautiful model and somewhat rare. I also learned that PB stands for "Power Babe" Nice! Where's Jorge, he loves the strange names.

 

By 1981 Sony had a huge Walkman Lineup

 

National Panasonic from 1983

 

Hitachi M-2 Mini Component Stereo from 1980, free with a Mazda! Shortly after this Mazda started cranking out some really nice cars.

 

Olympus SD Micro Cassette Recorder, this is the James Bond Issue with all of the cool plug in attachments. From 1980

 

Sencor from 1976, I had no idea they were around this early, the Sencor S-4500. This is a really nice looking model from back then but difficult to find now-a-days.

 

Another Sencor Ad from 1978, the S-4500 had some legs, it looks like Aiko was the manufacturer, Sencor was in Switzerland.

 

Being able to tape record classes with a tiny unit was huge in the 80's, the National Panasonic RQ-2725 from 1981

 

National Panasonic RX-1820 from 1981
