Seeing this National Panasonic RX-5600F, its two shortwave bands, its smooth-top profile, its stirring angularity (twin, forward-gabled condenser microphones and all) reminds me of the fondness that I used to have for this model. It's perhaps one of the ten boomboxes that started me on the habit of spending hours and hours on -- well, the other boomboxing website in my early days on it. The unenclosed hinges of this model's handle -- likely a nicely squared pleasure to hold -- remind me of another fetching two-shortwave-band stereo, the Aiwa CS-600U. (Though there's nothing fetching about the repair-resistant condition of the one still hogging all that room in that big ol' box in my closet.)
Of course, this National Panasonic is more rigorously designed and built than is that Aiwa, though I suspect that the CS-600 has more commanding sound than does the RX-5600 (without having ever handled this Panny, I shrug). But, again, the National Panasonic RX-5600F's construction likely gives it the edge in terms of radio-tuning (that fine-tuning knob sure helps make SW reception at least decipherable) and cassette-deck ergonomics (reminding one of the intriguing Sanyo M-X820K, though none of these boomboxes will scare windows with their sub-30-watt power usage).
Anyway, chevyman, that's an interesting setup you have there: the National Panasonic RX-5600F flanked by those same-brand RD-9202 speakers. Nearly all the gear one needs for an analog-era weekend. (A National SL-N15-X2 turntable would nicely complete the picture, methinks. And there's even more stereo gadgetry in the background, let's not forget.) Thanks for sharing these images, sir.
(Oh, by the way: do you live in Montevideo, Uruguay? It's been a while since I've been over ... to an atlas to look up that South American nation LOL)
