Thanks guys, the first two boombox scans are actually from the 1986 catalog

which were accidentally thrown in with the bunch. Someone can probably use the info on those pages, so I'm going to leave them in. The scanning part was the most time consuming reno, it took a few hours.

Great post!  Thanks Retro!

 

I was never able to visit J&R until the early '90s at their place near City Hall.  It was a mad house whenever I was there--prices were pretty good but the selection was what drew the crowds in.

 

Were they always at that location?  I haven't visited in about 5-6 years, I wonder if it's still decent.

Yes, Park Row was always the location and now they expanded and taken over that side of the block. It's still one of my favorite places to purchase electronics with knownledgable staff, unlike BB.
