Aiwa 880 Original manuals and original reciept from 1982..

$239 for an 880, that would have been a great deal.
What was the MSRP for an 880?

All of my boombox purchases were around $100 and none of them were even close to the league of an 880.

 

[Reli]

Yeah that 880 seems way underpriced.
I have a receipt for a TPR-955 for about $350

My CEC when brand new in1984 cost, on sale at zayer, $99.99 and at the same time the Magnavox D8443 was same price there

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

I seem to remember my TC-920 costing around $120-$140

Amazing how expensive those were.....
