    Another Pearlcorder, I think it's from 1984 but I didn't tag it, the S701, this look like a very basic model. I don't know how Olympus marketed these but they definately have a very high end and very low end.

    I don't know if this was posted already, from Stereo Review, I might have posted a different magazine's version.
    From 1983

    Walkgirl used to have a killer collection of stereo microcassette boomboxes, I was looking through the archives and found these photos, hopefully she doesn't mind them coming up from the cellar
    The Heru MC-22

    TPR had his Internet Boom Box Database CD and added this info, I've seen the Fujino for sale once before but none of the others, is there an AKA Marantz Version as well, I can't remember.

    From 1969, a blurb about the brand new Olympus Zuicobar Microcassette Player. One of the best looking models! Interestingly TDK help with the cassettes.

    I have two of the tpr that name rang a bell. Tpr made a 9 gig boombox database CD or DVD I should say. I have two of those DVDs if anyone's interested in it. I've never been able to play them. decentman4you2007@gmail.com
    I'll ship them to whoever wants them. Just send me an email.
