Boombox Archealogy

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.

 

1988 and the Sony ROBO

 

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.

 

Sony CFD-60 from 1989

 

From 1988, a cool looking Sanyo, at this price, it must be nice.

 

National RX-5700 from 1979

 

Sharp from 1978

 

From neat stuff from 1979 including the National Panasonic RX-2000

 

From 1971, the Toshiba Scoop looks like cassette only.

 

Sharp QT-77CD from 1990, I kind of like this look, very similar to the big Yamahas.

 

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.

 

Wegavision is uploading some more treasure-trove magazines, this is from Stereo 1975.
