My sister bought the Sharp QT-50(P) purely on the looks as soon as it came out. After seeing an advert my Father was asked to buy one on the way home from work. Having bought a Philips Roller 2 on looks myself I can't criticise. I'm thinking that a desire for wacky looks must run in the family. My Mother bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-R...810236?hash=item33c3699b3c:g:n6AAAOSwiDFYNt-Y then left it at school (complete with the original box) for the next teacher to use when she retired.
Great scans, I have two red QT-12's and a QT-90 in my little collection. Great to see them in this brochure! A lot of very nice machines in there, like the look of the Walkmans!
