    It is, if you look in the car stereo thread Sony had a line of very similar car models. They also overbuilt them so ads included boats and other transportation. I think this was their industrial version of a boombox, the first "contractor" boombox.

    From 1987, this is really neat, maybe fit for Techmoan? CRT collecting is really a thing and Sony's seem to be the cool ones, here's one I've never heard of and imagine was silly money back then, a Sony with a built in 8mm VCR!

    One of the grand-dads, even in 1971 I think Sony would have been much more than the Hong Kong Models that all the neighborhood kids had. This was almost four pounds! but very nice looking and I'm sure the top 1/2 was metal.

    I feel like we discussed that before, this one passed right by me. Cool feature, I've never been able to try one out, I just check my suitcase Sony and it isn't the same model, oh well.....

    Sony CF-580 is a very nice box. Not ghettoblaster loud, but it sounds super nice. Imo one of the best sounding Sony's indoor radio's from that period. Sadly the chrome trim at the sides is often gone missing. The 10 cassette changer (mtl-10) is also a very cool machine. I've two of them working, black and silver. They originate from a radio station. They used them to transmit at night without staff. They share the deck with the Sony FH7.

    From 1974, not really a boombox, no battery or radio but it is a portable stereo cassette player that your friends would have loved.

    Sony WM-17 from 1984, thanks tas66dc!
    Kind of basic but still expensive, I don't think I have one but would surely give one shelf duty.

    1990, some gems from Sony, I think the back cover is missing.

    Sony had a huge advertising push for the CF-550A in 1973-1974, these were full size newspaper ads.
