ABOUT BACK IN THE 80s

Back in the 80s was created for people who appreciate the design, engineering and nostalgia of vintage audio.

Our collection focuses on carefully selected equipment from some of the most memorable eras of portable and home audio. We understand that collectors care about more than simply owning an old piece of technology — condition, originality and correct operation matter.

Whether you're looking for a classic Walkman, a rare Discman, a MiniDisc player, a statement boombox or vintage Hi-Fi, our aim is to present every piece honestly and professionally.
