I had a red JVC PC-30 single deck that took something like 8 D-cell batteries... it had touchy volume controls that needed cleaning all the time because any dust or oxidation would sound like white noise mixed with nails on a chalkboard when changing the volume. It was kinda cool because the speakers detached. I often plugged in a $300 Sony Discman with crazy skip buffering and anti-skip tech (D-828K). I was lucky.. there was a Tower Records 1/2 mile (1 km) from my house, the one where Metallica played that concert in the parking lot. And somehow I acquired a 1990 West German The Doors - The Doors CD.
