Catalog for the SHARP GF-828 The Searcher W dual-cassette boombox, June 1980.

Two finishes: GF-828ST in silver and GF-828SB in black, both at 98,000 yen. The inner spread breaks down the dual-deck modes one by one - one-touch editing, multi-track overdubbing, dual playback, chained continuous playback - each paired with an illustrated use-case scenario.
