Sunday Hi-Fi illustration, with a commission I did a while ago, the Rotel RCD-965BX! Truth is I never heard about this brand at all prior to this work, but apparently, this is an old Japanese brand responsible for good quality audio and video products, and this compact disc player was no exception!
Because Hi-Fi is not only audio gear I bring today a beautiful unit dedicated to the lost format of VHS: The Panasonic AG-8700 VCR recorder and player. This giant was made for the superior SVHS format mainly, with capacity for video editing, it was a machine thought for professionals that holds up.
Yet another one of the ES series stack I made a while ago, this time with the Sony CDP-X77ES compact disc player! It maintains those same beautiful lines from the prior ones, black mate color with the wooden sides, a great machine from a time the CD format was blooming into the scene!
The Sony CDP-101 (1982-1985) The world’s first commercially released compact disc player. Released in Japan on October 1st, 1982. Launched worldwide in March 1983. List price was 168,000 yen (approximately US$730).
Anyone else have a Fisher Price record player? I still have mine, although it rattles because I posted coins in the slots!
