From our good friend AB388 over on X, the Victor looks nice, close to $900 USD, not sure what the exact inflation/exchange price would be today. Radio did you ever see an X90?
1973 with some entries from Sony and Niveco (JVC), I don't have either, which one would you go with? The JVC is slightly more.
Here's another for Techmoan, this looks really neat, from 1988 the Sharp QT-93CV, real big money and what is CDV (video?). Check out the remote? I'm not really sure what that is. I'm not really sure this is a boombox but this style of counter-top player was/is really popular in Japan.
Making it's 1975 debut, the Victor (JVC) RC-707, this is a cool model but I feel like the meters are backwards? Shouldn't they be on the other side?
I knew it! Although looking closer now, it looks like Victor and Tape Counter are labeled backwards, guess it's just a reverse negative. I was hoping something cool was going on.
