Turbo Sonic
Today I went to check out Turbo Sonic in Kōenji, a small shop specialized in vintage tape decks, stereos, video games and other electronic gear.
Some of the ones I found most impressive were what seemed to be large stereos but were in fact record players, such as the red one seen on the first picture below in the top-right corner. This one could apparently play side A and B without having to flip the record!
Also, in a stack of "under repair" stuff, what seemed to be a small but full-featured synthesizer caught my attention. When I asked the helpful clerk about it, I was told that it's actually part of a tape deck stereo which can be seen on the 5th picture. Who would have thought of a stereo+synthesizer combo!? I didn't dare asking the price.

You can see an article about the shop here, with a picture of its owner. It's apparently when his collection reached 1000 pieces, around April this year, that he decided to open a shop!
