Sounds!


We used to refer to stereo sets as "Sounds!"  Over the years, we have surrounded ourselves with lots of them:

Sony top loading tape deck with receiver acquired by Kong in HK in  1971
Radio still works


The Hayashi stereo set acquired by Gwammy at a mere P595 sometime 1976 came with a turntable and tape deck
The radio on this unit still works

Sanyo portable boom box bought by Michaela in HK in 1977
She learned about Ninoy's assassination via broadcast on this unit

Kong got this Aiwa receiver and tape deck in Singapore in 1978
Quartz tuning, full compatibility with all types of cassette tapes (FE, CRO2, MH)

The Aiwa set was paired with Visonik David 602 bookshelf speakers
Small size but wonderful sound

ELAC 3 speed turntable (78, 45, 33) of Kong, circa 1967
Still works, current needle is Shure
