[Mystic Traveller]

Not a box actually but 3 tape deck.

TRIO OK-3000 8 track by Kenwood.

BOSE AWM

I was told that its a great sounding box with a very strange look.

Today I scored this top one-piecer from Pioneer at Yahoo JP.

I have been looking at this machine for quite a while, heard
that it does sound great, in terms of sound quality smokes
most one-piecers from early 80s including M90.
So thought I 'd better check it myself.

SK-900 has 2 passive radiators and a separate amp for each channel.
Kind of downside, no, downside is not exacty the word,
well, specifics

:
Domestic Japanese FM up to 90MHz (could be modified) and high prices for good ones these days.

Is that a Mini Disc slot?

Oh wow, it is! I see the logo to the left of digital display..

 

[Mystic Traveller]

Is that a Mini Disc slot?

Yep, JustCruisin spotted the logo just right.
Those VIAs aren't still that uncommon in Japan but they don't sell it cheap.

Not mine though.
I thought about buying one of those but it looks sooo different from classic boxes.
To my knowledge BOSE had 3 models in this form factor:
2 cassette ones - AW-1 and AWM.
Plus this VIA.
