Magnificent!
From 1986, when I was living in Tokyo and bought my first computer, until 1999, when I moved to Yokohama, I probably visited Akihabara a couple of times a month on average. I would go there mainly to buy computer and audio equipment, but I also enjoyed just wandering around to see what was available.
In those days, and probably still today, Akihabara was constantly changing. The shopkeepers adapted quickly to trends, and smaller shops in particular seemed to appear and disappear at a rapid pace. Every visit I discovered something new. I contrasted that with another neighborhood I frequented—Ginza—which seemed pretty much the same from year to year.
Your collection brings back a lot of memories. Thanks.
