    It looks like the credit card radios were branded and maybe collected? From 1988

    This looks like a shot to the Walkman/Bose Setup, from 1988 the Kenwood Speaker/Amp? Adding up the numbers and this was not cheap back then.

    From 1979, I have the Sony Radio/Microcassette but I thought it was a few years newer.

    I never knew Toshiba had this or similar portable TVs, this one is really nice looking, from 1988 the Toshiba LZ-400. I do have the larger stereo microcassette boombox TV so they were in the small TV market.

    Some neat stuff from 1980, big money for the Panasonic RX-2700, the huge Panasonic RF-9000 seems like a bargain at a little more than double the price and is worth much more today.

    Sony TC-D5 makes a 1980 showing, wow is it expensive. The TH6-X30 TV boombox looks really nice, anybody know what brand it is?

    From 1990, the Panasonic SL-S500. I think this was my first CD player, mine might have been an RCA but who knows who was making them back then, they were nearly identical.

    Kenwood DCP-50 from 1990, I would never have guessed the Panasonic was more expensive.

    They designed their portable DCC player very similar not much later!

    The Sony DD-1 mini floppy Data Unit from 1990, not MD but pretty close. Techmoan did a review on one, I have a unit around here somewhere but I think it's slightly newer, mine had a encylopedia with it.
