Sony CFS-88 stereo cassette radio (1982). This ingenious design seems to be very rare, though it has great advantages. The main unit contains a good quality 4 band radio (with bandspread tuning for SW) and a stereo cassette deck with with twin moving-coil level meters. For carrying, the two speakers fold onto the front, and lock together forming a robust cube shape with integral carrying handle. For operation in a confined space, the speakers swing open like doors forming a long straight unit (illustrated). If more space is available, the speakers detach completely and can be positioned a few metres apart, by extending the cables concealed in the base of the speakers.

Does anybody know why this model is so rare? Why did Sony not continue this clever design?

You should buy it, if they're not that common over there. Depending on the price.

hi mr vu,ive recently aquired one from bison,and suffice to say its a good all rounder-not the best by a long shot but its a nice big box to have around in general

brutus442 - 2012-09-21 06:10

That's deceptively massive!

 

It doesn't have the elegance of the Pioneer still if I had it I'd keep it!

 

Nice grab Mr Vu!
