Looks like one of those Japanese tabletop units to me. Probably sounds great, but doesn't take batteries, so isn't portable.
FM is the Japan band: 76-90 MHz.

And where exactly is Moldova?

Extremely rare, top of the line Sonymodel circa 1982 available in Japan only!

There are simply no other boombox before or after with the same power/weight/size ratio!

Incredibly compact, packed with the latest technology and outfitted with cast iron speaker housings, this boombox has no competitors. The sound is completely free of any vibrations or distortions even at maximum volume!

Souds pretty awesome... and all those features

Looks like the retail price for a CFS-F70 back then was 128,000 Yen
Nowadays that's 1666$... the yen was a lot weaker in 1981 though. Back than 128000yen would've been about 580$

To me it did

Put it this way, I would pay more for that than I would pay for an M90

But not as much as I'd pay for a Mars Jumbo
