Sony Ads

I was just dusting off my XF-5000 and looking for more information, found an ad! Yea this XF-500 is basically the same, there were three version, this has no radio and I think slightly less wattage. Still a stunner and Sony's most expensive boombox at around $2000 USD when new.

It is, if you look in the car stereo thread Sony had a line of very similar car models. They also overbuilt them so ads included boats and other transportation. I think this was their industrial version of a boombox, the first "contractor" boombox.

 

From 1987, this is really neat, maybe fit for Techmoan? CRT collecting is really a thing and Sony's seem to be the cool ones, here's one I've never heard of and imagine was silly money back then, a Sony with a built in 8mm VCR!
