Looking for a picture of my old Sharp TV I just found this photo No this isn't a retro collection, but the stuff I had in lodgings in 1985 shortly before buying a house. Every item pictured was bought new by me in the preceding five years. The black unit on the floor is a Mitsubishi HS700B "portable" VCR The remote for the Akai F3L is on the bed Look closely and you can see Manic Miner on the Sharp TV (which the camera flash washed out). Does anyone else have any photos of their 20th century home setup ? We could go slightly newer if the equipment is interesting enough.
I wish I did Longman, I didn't take any photos of any of my cool stuff when I was a kid. Your setup looks perfect, boombox, TV, computer and stereo, what else could you want?
When I bought most of this a bit more room. Most of this was bought between 1983 and 1985 when I was earning a decent wage, but still living with my parents. My bedroom there (not the room in the photo) was about 7ft x 9ft. The 10" TV actually cost more that a 14" one but the 14" ones were so big it would have been difficult to find room for one. In 1986 after about six months in lodgings I bought my own house. For the next few years my priorities were things like kitchen white goods, curtains, and furniture. Here is a minimalist photo of house number two back in 1989 just after I got the keys, while most of my stuff was with the removal company
It is a Sharp QT5 (which came in various pastel colours). Looking for a picture led me to discover a whole website of such things. http://vintagecassetterecorder.com/...radio-cassette-recorder-from-stranger-things/
