    Another Walkman Contest from 1981, oh no, it looks like the winner couldn't go?

    Lot's of goodies from 1982 on this page, pricing is AUD. The JVC PC-5W is not much less than the Hitachi J2 System. Check out the Rotel RWM 800, I didn't know they made a portable.

    Sanyo M-741 from 1974, check out the JVC Videosphere and the Sony CF-610, a horizontal stereo tape deck with a built in radio. A neat unit that quickly disappeared.

    Pricing from 1977, this came from a duty-free shop sale in Port Moresby, I think price is AUD. It looks like even in 1977 the Sony CF-550A is the most expensive boombox on this list.

    Centrex, by Pioneer, SK-1 from 1978. This first came on my radar a few weeks ago, the SM20A is an amplifier for boomboxes, it looks like the speakers were also an accessory to this system. The funky top looks like it might be a handle?

    A very rare National Technics Ad from 1978. They really kept the brands apart.
