    Awesome article with pricing in USD! From 1985, smaller was better, or was it? The Panasonic CT-311A is beautiful, never seen one before, anybody own one of these?

    From 1982, a pretty in-depth review of portable FM Radios. Oh man, the Koss Musicbank gets a pretty bad rating!

    From "Design Magazine" 1989, prize winners for student Walkman Designs, it would be neat to find the entries, maybe there's a longer article somewhere. This is what I was doing in college around this time.

    A designer's blurb on the Sony WM-F107,the solar unit, from Design Magazine 1988. Did anybody know this was designed by an Englishman? Neat stuff, it looks like he worked with a lot of computer companies.
