Sold in Canada at the Consumers Distributing department store chains, these models were sold in 1985 for around $150 Canadian dollars. Not a bad investment, as these models today would easily receive well over $200 US by collectors. Yes, there are collectors out there and the market is hot. You shouldn’t be surprised; just take a look at the junk sold today. A very smart move would be to bring some of these vintage pieces back into production. Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, JVC, are you listening?
