Vintage Oshiwa WR-30S Retro AM/FM Stereo Portable Cassette Player

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed description

This lot features a portable audio cassette player from the Oshiwa brand, model WR-30S, presented in its original box as shown in the photo. The device is designed for playing audio cassettes and includes an AM/FM radio tuner, as clearly indicated on the packaging. The box displays a color illustration of the rectangular player, featuring a red front with black and silver elements, typical of portable electronic products from the late 80s to early 90s. The presence of a headband in the image suggests the inclusion of wired stereo headphones, in line with the "with stereo headphones" mention printed on the box.

The visible side of the packaging displays the following inscriptions: "OSHIWA", "MODEL: WR 30S", "AM/FM CASSETTE PLAYER WITH STEREO HEADPHONES". The "HQ" logo appears on the top of the lid, predominantly black with vibrant red accents. The overall design of the box, with its slightly worn corners and typographic printing, evokes the retro electronic aesthetic characteristic of portable cassette players of that era.

The box is made of printed cardboard, with a visual highlighting the player and its headphones. On the partially visible side, English text likely details the features, although the content is not legible in this photo. No other accessories or contents of the box are visible in this view.

This Oshiwa WR-30S cassette player is distinguished by its compact and portable appearance, its two-tone finish, and its visible controls in the photo (buttons or sliders visible on the top of the illustrated device). This type of item was designed for mobile music listening on cassette, with the ability to tune into analog AM/FM radio.

Condition

The box shows visible signs of wear on the edges and corners, with some marks and creases on the lid. The condition of the player itself is not visible in this photo. Used item, sold as is.

Did you know? Cassette players with AM/FM radio, popularized in the 80s and 90s, democratized mobile music listening before the advent of portable CDs and MP3s. Oshiwa was one of many brands that offered this type of device during the boom of nomadic audio.
