    i already own one of these which is in the que to be fixed but it has major issues.

    id say this is the Best panasonic ever made, it was made in 1986 and i was told when i bought my last one it cost a grand back then, it seems strange to be classed as a boombox as she dosen't have a handle but takes 10 d's

    so now i have 2 of the rarest and one of the most expensive boxes ever made.... Retro there are plenty of pics on this auction so you will see this one better, thanks guys

    Congrats RR, I would love to see a brochure on this model with the accessories, and how they intended it to be used, just seems a little odd.

    Thanks Ret, me too the only thing i saw back then was a wall chart in the guys shop.

    This was at the top, it had the Fd80 Rx cw200 and the Rx cw55 in there, the rest were too low end to peak my interest

    Yeah I too saw this too, I like the look of them, It would have been really cool if it had a handle and the speakers could attach.

    I have a very large collection of brochures, here's a scan of a Panasonic one from 1988

    Congrats, RR! Nice and rare system. :thumbsup:
    If I am not mistaken, I've seen this Panny bro a couple of times, a JDM National in black, at a Japanese auction.

    Thanks Deech lad, no handle im afraid but the whole thing combined would be to heavy to carry anyway, it's only slim but about 7,8 inches deep lad. you're up late buddy thought you would be in bed long ago:).... i have 2 now Deech, notice the one in my AV:cool:
