Fisher Cassette Radio Walkman

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to find the model name of an old Fisher Radio-Cassette Walkman I had in the early 1980s.

I'm only able to give a brief description of what it looked like. It had a unique design. The radio unit was designed like a cylinder/barrel with a huge round control knob on top. The cassette unit was attached in a slight angle.

 

I've searched a lot on the internet today, but odd enough I couldn't find anything so far.

I made a very rough sketch from memory. Hope you can help!

 

 

 

Please apologize my bad English.

 

Greetings from Germany

Sanyo and Fisher both made this model.  AgentOrange has a few of these as I remember. Am sure he will jump in the topic and he can tell you model number and post some photos.  Good luck with search.

Thanks for the clue!  Now I was able to find it: http://REPLACEMENT ERROR/topic/unusual-sanyo

In Germany it was marketed under the Fisher name (still looking for the designation).

 

I completely forgot that big extra battery case hanging heavy on my belt...

 

My sketch is a mess compared with the original product, but any way at least it helped to ring a bell.

Ahh, the PH10, one of my favourites..

You forget about how cool these were.

Might not have been called the PH10 but definitely a PH something.  I'll dig it out if you like.

I liked it very much. Finally something to cut-out the Sony spoiled buddies back then.

 

It was the time when I was around 14 or 15.

I remember when I once tried to catch the bus, but was unable to run..

Sweet memories!

 

Strange I already googled PH10, but only different models popped up..
