I just thought I would share the best week of collecting I ever had, I promised a favored but unstable member I would.
In the same week I managed to buy a Silver Panasonic RX-7700, that's the hard to find Silver Panasonic and not the more common Silver National version. Then just a few days later I bought a National/Panasonic RX-5350 which immediately became one of my favorite boxes. I still can't believe I picked up two very hard to find and popular boxes so close together and I didn't have to break open the piggy bank for them.

Panasonic at its best congrats MB.

Super cool MB!

Congrats, Don! Those Panasonics are the BEST looking boxes in my opinion - and super good sounding too! They look pretty mint - I'm happy for ya

P.S. Now make BIGGER pictures

Okay Vladi, larger pics added.
The 7700 is fairly minty and fully working. The 5350 is fully working but does have some wear in spots, it's still in nice condition overall.

What a delight to look at. I love those high end Panasonics. All of my friends are jealous - as yours will be too

Perfect Panasonics!
Great finds!

Thanks guys it's a blast to see those boxes sitting on the shelf, they are a couple of the coolest boxes in my collection. I couldn't imagine lugging either box on my shoulder back in the day, the 5350 is just big and heavy and the 7700 is smaller but deeper and heavier than the 5350.

Vladi I don't have to tell you how cool it is.

Super nice Panny's MB. Congrats man!!!

They are both AMAZING ! Nice scoop bro Congrats

wow, amazing MB. How do they compare soundwise?

Thanks peter it still amazes me to see both boxes sitting on my shelf, a year ago with prices the way they were I didn't think it would ever happen. Time, luck and a few dollars took care of that problem.

I think they both sound very nice, the 5350 has a bigger almost M90 like sound although the highs aren't particularly strong. The 7700 has a nice balanced sound but it's not as strong on the bass obviously, just look at the size of the box and the speakers and it's obvious the 5350 has better genetics for bass. Both boxes play plenty loud for me and the looks and quality are top notch, especially for the 7700.

Congrats MB sweeeeet boxes man.

I'm jealous too! I just got the grey version of the 7700, and already its apart and in pieces and the tuner is way off! I love it!

What nice units !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah ... looks like in my dreams, those huge Panasonic ....

Congratulations !!!!!

Super cool quality box in either color, hope you get her 100% soon.

Success you never know what's coming, I didn't hold much hope of getting either one let alone both. There's always hope for you brother, just keep looking and scouring and eventually the boombox gods will smile on you.

Way to go! Now you can change your avatar!

What are you saying Oldy, my Lasonic isn't worthy anymore?


I've been thinking about changing it, the Lasonic is getting kind of stale.

Vladi where's the love for the Lasonic?

Actually I kept it this long only because that pic was my best one, I'll have to fix that problem.
