From 1988, these look very interesting, I have nothing from the later Walkman Years so I can't identify any of them, anybody know what these are? The most expensive is the CX-R9, it looks really nice, am I reading it right, a Victor TeePee? Thanks AB388!
Sony ECM-D15 from 1985 Audio Magazine (Germany) Solar power was definately cool back then when batteries were a wallet drain, anybody know how well these work? And the cool little credit card radio, mine says Walkman on the bottom
Over 700 EUR today.. so a pretty expensive device back in the day to listen to your favorite German station on a holiday in Sri Lanka! https://www.lawyerdb.de/Inflationrate.aspx
Wow, I wish I knew more about the innards of some of these to see why they were so expensive. I don't have a WA-8000 (yet) but it's on my list.
I may have posted this before, from Electronics Today Australia 1988. Color LCD has arrived! Casio is still making some cool units before they started looking cheap and plasticy.
I have no idea what this is but it looks like it belongs here, from our good friend on X, AB388 One of the credit card radios, while these were amazing leaps of technology, the AM band wasn't the most popular. AIWA SC-A9 Speaker, AIWA's small speakers always seemed to be a step better then the rest and they looked great. Big money, this is like $80 USD today. A DAT Machine was above this so maybe late 80's for this stuff, here's a neat headphone set from JVC.
A little more and again, I have no idea what this is but it has an earphone. Watchman FD-27 Kenwood KD-939 Headphones
1973 AIWA TP-747, AIWA's very early entry into portable cassette players, check out the X-100 console next to it.
