    These three blurbs are from High Fidelity Magazine, 1983
    Here's the Panasonic CT-101, I love these little TVs, they were the height of electronics "cool" back in the 80's but surprisingly you didn't see many around, I think people at sporting events liked them so they could watch the instant replays and listen to the broadcast?

    From the Japan Times 1990, there's a little blurb on the AIWA Cassette Boy HS-EX 50, limited edition of 5000 units.

    It's interesting to watch the view counter, each article gets around 150 hits, wonder if it's bots or real people?

    The glorious Sony WM-F5 from 1983! The yellow "SPORTS" line inspired a million imitators very similer to Apple's "iPod" where everyone started calling their products "i" something. You couldn't get away from "sports" models or yellow-colored sports equipment for several years.

    Sony MiniDisk MZ-1 MD, I'm guessing that's USD? Big money back then.
