    A couple Toshiba RT Boombox Ads from 1974, some of these are kind of neat looking but pretty rare.

    Toshiba RT-580F from 1976, Toshiba never has the wattage in their ads but this was heavy at close to 11 lbs.

    This is really neat, the AIWA Compactplay PM-88 from 1961! Check out the really old AIWA Logo, anybody have one of these?

    Electra Boomboxes from 1981, I've never heard of these before and they aren't in the wikiboombox, another random brand.

    Is that the first boombox? The AIWA TPR-101 from April 3, 1969. The TP-1004 would have been the first stereo boomer if it had a radio!

    This is neat but it's a car cassette deck from AIWA, 1970. I think my biggest issue with 8-track is the equipment is so blase, there's no real technological standouts. The AIWA TP-1028 cassette/8-track car stereo.

    Some beautiful AIWA Compos and more from 1981. So maybe the M-101 Speakers were meant to go upside down?

    AIWA TPR-212 from 1975, the first and only? boombox with REVERB! I've got a few full size reverb units, I don't think they were very popular, most are mint or still in the box.
