My dad bid and won this National Panasonic RS-466FDS for me. Was psyched when he told me and was hoping it would arrive soon, but didn't figure on it today. Hope to get it up and running for my birthday tomorrow. I plan on bringing it out to get sushi with some friends. Wonder if they'll give me a hard time at the restaurant :nonono: ...anyway here are some before pics. I will probably end up repainting this one. It really is beautiful(under the dirt and scuffs) and I can't wait to get it operational. It has a real solid feel and great weight to it. Sad to say, but I even love the smell of the inner workings when you first open up a box. :no: :no: weird. I know. Also, it came really well packed(I will def be giving the seller positive feedback). He basically built a Styrofoam house. It was almost hard to take apart. Anyway...off to the workshop, I love these days. I will post more pics as progress is made

These little Panasonics are cool.
Someone just gave me the same one not too long ago.
Is it me, or is the battery compartment extremely snug??


Cheers OSS :afro:

^^^just checked and noticed...you're right. If you line the batteries up next to it there isn't that much room to spare WITHOUT the springs in the way. They are great little boxes though. Built solid and loud. And clean sound...esp noticed this when I get further away or in another room....sounds full and warm with crisp highs. Love this thing
