I think I had those catalogs too. With the announcement of the DCC930 that was basically a 2nd generation recorder to fit in the 900 series; I speculate that they canceled it because sales of the DCC900 weren’t going as well as they expected.

Do you happen to have the price list that came with it?

The prices are on the datasheet pages that you can see on the pictures. Its a lot of money for the DCC130 in 1993, 1140 GLD is about 614 USD. With inflation is that today $1143.

Oops I missed that…

It says the DCC730 was NLG 695 (suggested retail price). I think I got mine for around NLG 600 so that’s around $600 in today’s money.

I don’t remember where I bought my DCC730; possibly at the Philips Employees store (my dad worked for Philips at the time). I got it in 1995.

Hello, very nice brochure with young people of the eighties !!! if you want to know prices in France, prices were high at the beginning in comparison with classic stereo cassette deck. I bought my dcc 730 in BOULANGER-AUCHAN in 96 and it cost 1500 F approximately $160 the cost of a good blue ray disc player now and a good CD player of the time. This was the end and the commercial wanted to empty his stock.
Note i remembered there was the DD82 at the last shelf and it cost above 4500F, she was … very beautiful above all products but very expensive for the young man i was.

According to an article in the Los Angeles Times from 1992, the launch price for the DCC900 was going to be higher than originally expected ($500), at $700 to $800.

$750 with (US-)inflation is $1,545 today. I feel privileged owning one :slight_smile:
