Freebie from my friend Cido, need Original Tunning Knob.
Fully working, some scufs here and there, early 70s...
Some pics before, during and after cleanup...

Mini, old but BIG sound, you NEVER go wrong on a piece from 70s in sound department!!

What an EPIC clean-up job on a BB that looked as if it'd been dead & buried centuries ago!

Always like to see a boombox in the sink getting a proper scrub

I must agree, looks 100% better now! Great job bro! And it was freeeeeeee

I have one in like new condition. I love it!

I still remember when it was out in the market. Super sensitive radio and excellent sound!
It had a 7.2 Watts sticker on the cassette door. My cousin had it back then and I was so amused by the performance.

It had a 4 band version also and the dials looked better on that one.

See mine..

The only problem on that little... ...HARD to put the D's on the place... ...3x HARD to remove them...
Maybe I have to reduce the spring size...

If you could (and want, corse) get a HD pic of the Tuning Knob, PLEASE!!

Cheers.

It was a wonder box in the late 70s and still is... Not many people know how good this box is!

I'm REAL impressed with that... ...and this one, even in that condition before cleanup, it's a fully working one!!

Cheers.

Another great Panny to own is this RX -5230. It is so rare.... Our Ira helped me to get one from a member.
It is 9Watts/channel! Top performance...

Maybe 9 watts 'music power' per channel. No way it's putting out 9 watts RMS per channel.
More like 4.5 watts RMS per channel which is still very respectable considering a Sanyo M9990 only puts out 3.5 watts RMS per channel.

There was a sticker on the cassette door saying 18 Watts total power. I had one brand new back in the early 80s.
I can feel the power also because I never went over 1/3 of the volume and that itself was pretty powerful.

yep, the stickers always have the music power rating.
