Wondering which year this Marantz - Superscope first released.



A Lovely vintage advert for a proto-boombox back from 1973 - 1974 for an AIWA TPR-601




The ad translates as this:

'' WHATS HAPPENING WITH THE DYNAMIC SOUND FROM AIWA...

..and the TPR-601 is full of wonderful sounds. Wherever you go this little,easy to use portable tape recorder and radio for medium and FM waves , is a pleasant company. We are saying everything about the AIWA TPR-601 and by saying dynamic sound we literally mean it.

With a frequency range from 150-1800 Hz combined with an output power of 1800 MW it gives you a high fidelity sound.

Thanks for the post! I needed to read Greek as I haven't read or spoke the language in quite a few years. Comes back to me like riding a bike except it takes a minute for me to reread and comprehend.

Greek Language is not so easy to learn.
Mesa AZ guy you are from the US and you know hot to read and comprehend Greek . This is awesome.

When I was little, I was forced to go to Greek school after regular school at our local Greek church. As I progressed, it ended up being all day on Saturday. My parents were both Immigrants and my brother and I were born in NY. We spoke Greek at home except to my dad. My parents were told by the American schools that they had to speak english in the house as my brother (4 years older than I) didn't speak good english as a child. My dad spoke english (Broken and heavily accented) and my mom continued to speak Greek. We learned alot of bad words from her! I miss my parents (both deceased) and the awesome childhood they tried to provide. I miss the smell of Tsoureki baking during the holidays or helping my mom put honey on the Malemakarona. Her Koulouria were the best and my Portuguese wife was given the same 1950's cookbook from my mom that she used for all her recipes. It was an honor I thought. Haven't been to Greece since 2005 and most of the family is scattered about. I lost touch. When we go back, sadly it will be as a tourist rather than a patriot.

So MesaAZguy you are Greek-American 2nd gen !
The Sweet memories from childhood are the ones we carry for ever, the ones that shapes us.
Whenever you feel like visiting motherland give me a shout . You are not a tourist at all .
There are always open arms here brother.
(Well that depends on what team you support Panathinaikos or Olympiakos. )
What place was your Father and Mother from?

My dad was Russian born and they moved to Thessaloniki when he was very young. His father was an orthodox priest assassinated in Russia so I believe that is why they fled to Greece. Mom was born in Andros. Dad was in the Greek Navy and thus met my mom. Moved to NY in 1965 and the rest is history as they say.

Some late 80s decline era.

And Transistor from the 60s

The moment you realise the scans you did some years ago are being sold by a chinese seller as a vintage metal tin sign !!
