Toshiba Ads

Toshiba from 1979 over on archive.org, the last page didn't get fully scanned. Is it just me or does the RT-8510S look 1/2 Philips and 1/2 Sanyo?

 

1979, the last page didn't scan correctly. I've got an RT-7000S which is very similar to the RT-8000S, I think the dial is a little different but definately a higher-end mini.

 

Toshiba from 1976, the RT-550 is a cool little mini that's much different than the others but the RT-333 looks interesting, anybody own one?

 

Toshiba KT-S1 with the very rare red AM Cassette Module, yep you had to buy both AM and FM seperately.

 

1987

 

1982 One of Toshiba's Iconic Models (RT-200S in the USA), I love the tennis racket case! Maybe one of the cooler swag tie-ins. So the girl has headphones on, where's the boombox? This boomer was big money back then, more then I would have thought.

 

The poster said this was on the back of a train ticket, the bottom looks like an envelope.

 

Very early Toshiba Ad, I think the RT-320 might be their first boombox

 

Another one thats hard to date, it looks like a Magnificent Seven tie-in but that came out in 1960

 

1969

 

Toshiba Walky, an interesting radio version with maybe six preset channels? I'm not sure how this works, do the light go up and down when tuning? It looks like there's only three volume levels and what does "Synthesizer" mean? A neat little radio with maybe some added functions?

 

It looks like it's from 1973, a tiny Toshiba Radio, I love the huge antenna. This was so normal back then, a tiny transistor radio, usually a baseball game was on and you'd bring it everywhere. Then the boombox came out and changed everything.

 

An ad for the RT-8000S from 1979, yep big money.

 

Another Walky Ad, anybody own the gold version?

 

1983

 

1984
