JVC - Was founded in 1927 as "The Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan, Limited" as a subsidiary of the United States' leading phonograph and record company, the Victor Talking Machine Company. In 1929 majority ownership was transferred to RCA-Victor. In the 1930s JVC produced phonographs and records, but in 1932 JVC started producing radios, and in 1939 they introduced Japan's first TV. JVC severed relations with its foreign partners during World War II, and since 1953, JVC has been owned by Matsushita, who held a majority stake in the company until August 2007.

The powerful king of boomboxes JVC M90 from 1982/83. This was the Mega BoomBox of all Boomboxes. This is the boom box shown on the jacket on LL cool J’s first LP Radio. One of the coolest boombox ever built. The JVC RC-M90 is no doubt one of the most saut after , if not the most saut after boombox out there.

The JVC RC-M80JW(20 watts) is the fraternal brother to the RC-M70(40 watts). Although it has a lower power output, it had advanced features for the time including a "soft touch" (logic) cassette mechanism and a digital tuner. The JVC RC-M80JW boasted a whole bunch of features rivalling expensive home stereos at the time

The JVC RC-M70JW has always been my all-time favourite stereo radio cassette recorder ("ghetto blaster" or "boombox" as some people call them). In 1982 they sold for the very high cost of $455.00.Not only was it physically the largest machine available at the time (21" wide, 5" deep, 11.5" high), it was the most powerful: pumping out 15 watts per channel (stereo; two channels) into a pair of 6.5" woofers and 2.0" horn tweeters.

The RC-838 is actually a 70s machine but is one of the first devices to capture the symmetrical 80s look of giant stereo boxes. It still has needle meters which disappeared from consumer devices as cheaper electronic indicators were sold as being more advanced. One feature that I’ve never seen anywhere else is the six electronic push button FM memories, to remember your favorite stations. The Bi-Phonic circuit is unusual. It boosts midrange frequencies, great for vocals. In headphones, the unit continues to perform. I love this box. The radio is awesome. The FM tuner is sensitive. you can switch the VU meter to display tuning signal strength for best reception. The shortwave reception is amazing as well with plenty of gain on poor signals. There’s a fine tuning pot that dials in precise tuning. Excellent. Cassette: In playback, I find the sound is as good as any late 70’s deck. No dolby, but who cares. Recording: there’s 2 onboard condenser mics that perform well with good detail. There’s manual and automatic level controls and - 1/8 ” plugs for external mics. There’s also playback for metal cassettes. Overall amazed by the quality and supercool features. JVC’s of this era deliver quality.
