Stereo2Go Forum Reader

Here's the list taken from the PocketCalculatorShow website of walkman prices when new.

This was an effort to capture data from personal stereo cassette and radio devices into one list. It’s a massive undertaking given the number of models sold during the heyday of this technology. First captured in 2003, no other list existed on the Internet so we spent many weekends in the local library scanning dozens of audio and pop culture magazines for advertisements. Please use this as a guide or checklist in your effort to uncover those old, forgotten personal stereos. We are looking for a way to present in this a Wiki-like format so the world can offer their input.

I still got the receipt of when my Philips D6638 was bought new in 1984 in Germany... Is that information welcome? :3

This is great AO, I remember Paul mentioning that the new forum has static HTML pages for just this sort of thing when I inquired about creating on line databases for the site.

Since this is my first post on these forums I would like to start by saying hello to everyone

With regard to Walkman prices when new, specifically for those in the EU I think looking old Argos (British catalouge-based retailer) catalogues can be quite a useful resource. The catalouges were updated twice a year and should cover quite a few of the entry to mid level models. Argos prices were also prety competitive so its fair to assume that the prices listed are not overly inflated but at or close to the manufactures recommended retail prices.

THis is a great link to scans of the catalouge: http://retromash.com/argos/

Thanks for that. I was just looking how much the Hitachi 3D8 and the 3D80 cost new. £129.99 for the 3d8 in 1988 and £149. 99 for the 3D80 in 1990
