Here we have Sony brochure from sunny 1976! I was 8 years old, very skinny. My ears used to stick out like jug handles in those days, which was a problem because the summer of 1976 was very hot and they got badly sunburned! Still Sony had some nice looking machines in their line up that year, my Dad even went out and bought one!
Super, Seb, thank you for sharing! And I was 6 y.o. back then, today choosing from the above I am in for Sony CF-62o!
I too like the CF620. I spent many weeks at work back in 1981 listening to a similar unit which a colleague brought in (it may have been an Akai) while I was designing PCBs using Mylar Film and drafting tape. The tune that sticks in my mind from then was Landscape - Einstein a go go While in the same department we watched the first flight of the Space Shuttle on an extremely wonky TV someone had once brought in to try an fix (but hadn't), and all went outside to admire a different someones MK3 Ford Escort, a new model which none of us had seen before.
