Apologies for the poor picture of this magical Aiwa CS-W7. It’s one of a handful of boomboxes that had tape decks for standard size cassettes AND micro-cassettes! While companies like Panasonic and JVC were pushing the buck in large machines, Aiwa was trying to make them sleeker and smaller. This rare model sold for a short period in 1983 for around $400. Imagine recording your favorite shortwave program to tape, then dubbing it micro?!

Thanks for keeping your website online. Do you guys still read messages submitted on the webform? I’m the guy who invited you to do a show and demo at the HOPE conference in NYC years ago. I miss your show on WBCQ!
We still read them, bernieS! Hope you’re doing well. Thanks so much for that invite, our weekend at HOPE was so fun! We definitely miss our shortwave days. The site is still here and is now itself a nostalgic piece of yesterday’s technology. 😀
