All of the gear I bought in a PX in Japan "back in the day" was intended for the US market. I didn't buy everything, but I tried. Abe (Ahh-bay), the young Japanese dude who spoke English better than I did, was awesome. Hope he's well! I wonder how many Yamaha M-2's he sold.
On-base, we had good 'ole American 'lectricity. Friday night open-squadbay volume competitions were something else.
I wish I could remember the name of the store, but it was the Japanese equivalent of a Macy's. One whole floor dedicated to audio gear. Amazing. A wall of turntables. Shelves of today's unobtanium. Bow-ties and aprons in the glassed off room where the "expensive" stuff was kept. What I would not give to have a do-over on those days!
