    Kinda like the appearance of a Target store in "Career Opportunities", huh?

    I've seen a million movies and know more info on others but I've never heard about Career Opportunities. I looked it up and will have to check it out next time it's on, it must have been John Hughes when his career was waning, before that all his movies received major coverage.

    Well, let me explain my perspective on it:
    Before the movie, there weren't any Target locations around me. Now, I swear I could be in the middle of nowhere and stumble across one!

    Some new finds, not mine.... The anodize looking red Sanyo (it might be, I can't tell) is beautiful. The Sanyo and the National are definitely contenders for smallest boombox.

    I found this little guy in the 1982 Sears Wishbook on WishbookWeb.com. I looks a lot like the GE/Sanyo Version I have but it doesn't look as deep and it has oval speaker covers. A very cool unit and look at the price, $299.00 USD in 1982.

    Looks a bit unusual thus recognisable - cool!

    I am wondering which company was the OEM of this classy model?

    It's probably much smaller than you think, I just put my little GE MCP, which is in a kangaroo box very similar to the Sears, next to a Toshiba KT-AS10 (the world's smallest cassette player) and they are about the same size.

    Irony: My first note-taker tape recorder was a Panasonic w/built-in front speaker. It was a compact-cassette model, but still... Recorded many a song off the television with it. Shame I never got it back from my home-economics teacher.
