    My father always listened to the wireless and I listened with him too. Then later my mother bought me a little Benkson transistor radio. I think that was the beginning of my love for music making equipment.

    Sony SRF-70W from 1983, $119.00 USD was big money back then and this was just for the radio. Wakefield's was in Utah.

    Some more Sony From Wakefields, they must have had a nice display area. The CFM-15 looks like a nice little model, I haven't seen one up close before.

    Some General Electric Boomboxes from 1982, the bottom one looks like a Sanyo but there's no Model number with it.

    There aren't many AIWA Ads but here's on for two very nice models from 1982, the HS-P02 and the HS-J02. They're called the "Hipster" here but I never see that printed on my models.

    This was more my budget but at $3.75 an hour it took me a few weeks to save up for one. Some Panasonic Portables from 1986

    Some AIWAs from 1984, I would have never guessed the SC-A5 Speakers were that much. Camera shops never seemed to discount like the electronics stores.

    Some of the nicest equipment from 1985, the UCLA Daily Bruin, I'll have to do some more research on this store "Affordable Portables" They were selling some great equipment.
