Cool electro tune in that video...radio is branded Techtronic, never heard of one, but it looks a lot like those generic boxes, I have the Auto Sonic version.

Good find. I know the prices don't seem too bad upon reflection but, at the time, almost everything audio seem to cost a small fortune at the very least - which probably goes some way too explaining the proliferation of so many cheapo boxes that are still available after all this time. That said, even a lowly mini can sound far better than expected when listening through headphones. :yes:

Ha ha, Good Guys was always a ripoff. $1,498 for a poorly built Fisher system that would probably only last 7-8 years?

Sorry for OT, but I didn't know where to post. I saw an add for this used NP and I got very hyped.. Help is needed. What is a fair price to pay for this beauty?? Supose to be working and playing with no problems. Juste some minor scuffs on body. Cant find any add to compare...

I would have just picked it up for whatever the owner is asking for, if the seller is not a dealer, but the original owner!
It is the best sounding NP in the RX-5100 series.

He is not a dealer. It is only boombox in his possesion. I not sure he even knows this is very rare piece here in EU. But I don't wanna be a bi**h and low ball him with price. Tomorow I will call him and make fair offer for both of us. Good actions allways pay back..

Got one of these last year. Nice thing to look at. Small but decent sound and power. Built pretty nicely and National Panasonic did some really nice speaker grills and ring designs in that era. I paid £60 for this.CADFB782-1053-4D9E-B896-B1C925333362.jpeg

If he is an old man, give him a good price, if you can afford!
I have done that many times - paying more than what people asked without knowing its worth!
