gentlemen, and ladies,
we are all familiar with the panasonic rx c45 3 piece box-but the national version?how rare is the national version in the uk-and does anyone out there know where this would have been marketed when new?it cane with an ac cord that had a 2 prong adapter on the end.ste and i reckoned australia-i thought more possibly u.s, or even japan domestic market?
i really would appreciate any info you guys can share

i'm not sure where the national version came from,i always thought they were only sold as "national" in japan..
i did have a Rx c45,it cost me a fiver from Royal,it needed attention,i repaired it and i really liked it alot,good quality mini style box..well done old bean

hey g-man-doesnt mean i like 2 b called old bean any more than lav loo does im only 32!!!!!!!!!!
my thoughts about the national exactly-im more convinced now that it is a japanese model

If it's 100 volt and the prongs on the plug are straight, then it's Japan, if it's 240 volt and the prongs are angled on the plug, the it's Aussie.

Japanese is Type A class 2

Australian is Type I, although most electrical appliances use only the top two prongs, as they are double insulated and don't require Earth return.

I Still think its from Oz

In Oz National was sold in the early 80's after that it was Panasonic

ill check those bits out you mentioned, guys-all i know is its foreign-for sure!wether its from oz, or japan, im over the moon.thanks again, ste mate
keep your comments coming though guys
