So many of you know that my very first stereo Boombox I purchased as a teen in 83-84 was a Panasonic RX5010 from venture for $50 plus tax. I had to work a few weeks at newspaper stand to save up because I was only making $1/hr plus $1 bonus for each day I worked. When I first started collecting the very first Boombox I purchased was that same Panny. It was very clean and deck needed belt but I got it working 100%. I also told you how because of buying it for $58 including shipping my wife at the time pretty much ended our marriage. Beatch 
Anyway I have seen two NIB ones since starting collecting and the first one fell through because price was to high and guy wouldnt go any lower than I think $200 and something... But Last week I found second one and guy lived in Illinois a couple hundred miles away. Well it's small so I made deal with him to have it shipped. Because it was in original box he bubble wrapped and put in secondary box and shipped... I received it today and This boomer was immaculate with no signs of use what so ever. All paperwork, plastic bag, styrofoam and box were included. Of course I took back off to clean inside and replace stretched belt but even the inside was clean. Tape head and pinch roller never used at all. To me this is one of those units put away in a closet just so I would get it one day.... Even though its not much of a box it is sentimental value to me
Check pics and difference between the new one and how used one I got 4 years ago looks.
simply amazing what keeping units in plastic bag and box all these years can do as opposed to just sticking it in the basement or crawl
