Happy to say that this one imported from Japan went smooth but had issues. Investigation lead to repairing a dead trace in the board, both power amp chips and the ambience chip.

This sweet unit now works on all functions, in all modes and both channels. Beautiful !

More photos later when it stops raining and isn't dark

Way to go Dave!

WOW This one is a personal grail. Almost bought one from peppin, but couldnt pull the trigger. I do have a RX5700 from peppin, and love it. A piece of art that 5350 enjoy!

Thanks all for your great comments.

The 5350 is indeed a superb boomer. Love it !!!

Nice quality sound and style to match. I need to look out for some small "circlips" that go around the ends of the knobs to keep them tight on the pot as these have become a bit loose and don't have them fitted by default. Anyone know what they're called or an idea what to buy that would do ?

Nice one docs; I've allways wanted to get my hands on one of these!

great find plus able to fix problems well done

congrats docs, it looks in great condition.

One of the most beautiful boxes imo !

Congrats on agreat find Docs !!

wow,nice box Dave

I'm really happy for you Dave! Your 5350 looks amazing, and it's always good to see radios in the UK that weren't originally sold over here, like my Blockbuster. Your Toshiba RT-S90 for instance, an absolutely stunning grail in fab condition! It now has a playmate. I look forward to seeing your 5350 in person one day.
