Unsure on the model number of this ghetto blaster. We do know this JVC was released sometime in 1985. Notice multiple component facade–this trend began in mid-80s and continued into later years. We guess the speakers are detachable, making this an appropriate home stereo for the apartment dweller or college student. update: Hemlyn from the UK writes, “Mine is model JVC PC-200W, and though it doesn’t look exactly the same (mine has less black and more silver on the front) all the functions are exactly the same and in the same places. In daily use here in northern England, though it gracefully retired from recording cassettes a few years ago (ie this function no longer works!) Plays ‘em fine tho.’ Still has a very, very clear stereo sound, will go quite loud, and will boom very satisfyingly if required. Quite heavy, esp. with batteries installed, but who cares? Sling out that pathetic walkman, sling your blaster on a guitar strap and let the neighbourhood know that you’re coming down the street!
