    1974, I was researching the the Bigston KRD-1520 (ad in the mega-thread) and found this early example. I was hoping it was pre-1970 but this is the only ad I've found so far. For me personally, the name is a big turn-off and might have hurt sales back then.

    1982 USD, $119.95 seems like a killer deal!

    1985 USD, the D5 was very impressive back then but CDs had a small library and cost 2-3x a vinyl album.

    1987 USD, a Sony WM-D6C makes a showing, big money for a college student. I think you could get a decent stereo for the same price.

    1982, which one would you get? Personally I needed a radio because the batteries only lasted a couple days but you could still use the radio on weak batteries.
