AIWA from 1997, still some quality items being cranked out. Thanks Wegavision! I wonder what shenanigons are going on here?
Fun fact... raw eggs in ideal conditions can support over 100lbs without breaking. Now... if aiwa happened to hard boil these eggs... we are talking even more weight that they could withstand. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-surprising-strength-of-eggshells-11586442618#
That's interesting, I still wonder if the equipment is really light and cheap from the photos, maybe not the best way to highlight it's portablility. I'm intrigue by this unit, it's cool looking but are they basically saying the bottom is a tune and amp? I always thought VHS/Beta Cameras could be hooked to any TV with composite or even cable jacks, what's special about this or was it one of the first? 1984 is when the players were not fully mature but there was a ton of variations and options.
AIWA HS-P5, I was reading the blog posted today from the AIWA Engineer talking about this model and all the wonderful colors.
I used to be a troll, hanging out down here with all the Walkman People but then I started getting more and more boomboxes (and Walkmans), and started reading threads up top. https://stereo2go.com/forums/threads/you-want-aiwa-history-you-get-aiwa-history.9433/
AIWA Strasser from 1989. These pre-egg boomboxes are pretty cool but outside of the nicer Panasonics, we never saw them over here.
Another beautiful ad from AIWA the TPR-930 from 1976, they sure spent a ton of money on boombox advertising. Thanks Wegavision!
