Akihabara Japan 1983 Go Back in Time Here - tinypic 2011 new links
Long Time ago In a Far Away Land of Electroninc's a Salesman took this Picture for me with my Screw-mount camera for me in the room that had the Big Speakers & He also gave me a Cassette { I still have of some popular Japanese Girl singer - sung in half Asain/English } 

Hi ! James here; [IMG]http://i52.tinypic.com/2n85sgm.jpg[/IMG] When I was in the US Navy; 1982-1984 I went on a West-pac Cruise Starting January 03 1983 ending in 
August 1983 - went lot's of Coutries - Cities, & I was poor then due to payday stakes... anyway 
These picture's are from Our Second Port After Hawaii of course and that was Yokosuka Japan. 
I Dont remember Who suggested that I go to Akihabara but I went there anyway - then Every day that I could while we were in port. 
Anything I seen that I couldn't afford I would take a picture of - and that was pretty Much everything - Except for the Sony 5 - Band EQ - Model number SEQ-50 
Stereo Graphic Equalizer Designed for walkman's of which I still have....
These Pictures are in NO Particular order & I had names I gave to them to tell them apart...
Orginal Scanned Pictures are Matte Finish [ therefore not as sharp as they could be ] 4x6 inch Scanned to a Tiff.file then uploaded.

Akihabara is still an amazing place for all things electronic... Was there a year ago. Didnt see any old time boomboxes though

I am too big to fit into that little delorean car and would be much better to take the panel-van as I could bring so much more back with me - now if I could just get the panel-van up to 88 miles an hour

James those pics are among my favourites in the forum !

I have seen them before ofcourse .

A big respect too for all of those who were on the game

from the very beggining.

That shows the love the admiration and dedication .

I think that a topic (if its not already in existance)

should be opened from older people who were

collecting at an early stage , should be opened with

pics like that.

Showing the spirit of a gone era, i would prefer to check pics that

are not digital just shot on film and scanned .

Just a wish of mine.
