My Sony memory lane, I bought this when I was 17:
I'd love the Akai system my mum's partner had back in the 80's all space age with soft touch buttons that only depressed a couple of mm. I did find all the correct models once on Pinterest but deleted that app. He bought it to replace an old system from the late 60's? early 70's that consisted of a receiver with built in turntable and a top loading akai cassette deck and some old castle speakers that had wooden fronts with slots cut into them. Never did find out if the fronts could be removed. He still used those speakers when he bought the new akai gear. Still has the speakers now but I don't know whether they work he's not listened to his hifi for years.
Found the cassette deck Akai HX-R5. Just need to find the receiver now.
My old man bought them in the 70's, I got all his hand me downs and then I asked him for a turntable and he came home with that Sony system, God alone knows what my mother thought.
I've found the receiver Akai AA-R22. There is a flip down panel on the left that hides the tone controls and speaker A & B switches. I really would like to compare it to my system.
Purchased my CD player from the local Sony centre in 1999. Sadly it has since closed...
May i ask what was the staff discount ?
I was going to ask him that.
For the most part it was like 20%. Our tills had a ‘cost price’ for products that dictated the staff price.
Where I work we used to do the Panasonic points system. A lot of the sales staff over the years have managed to get TV's hifi etc for next to nothing.
