This is from baddboybill's sale. I'm a huge Panny fan so after considering the Telefunken first, I settled on this one.
Just arrived today

Thanks guys. I was actually going to the post office to pick up a part that came in for my Roomba iRobot vacuum cleaner. It came while at work so I took my slip today to pick that up. USPS said Monday on the tracking for the box so I never thought anything about it. So the dude comes around the corner with my tiny vacuum part and this huge ass box.

He said "this came in after the mail was run for your address". So that started my day....so you guys are correct. I hadn't seen any pictures other than what was in the sale. What struck me the most was the wood panel sides. Practically flawless. I really like boxes with the sleep function. I fall asleep with a tape playing and it shuts itself off. It's easy to get spoiled with the M90 but this thing with Ambience adds a nice touch on certain songs. It's also the first box I've seen that has auto rewind and repeat functions. A nice touch. Might need to grab a manual to read up on this stuff
Such an elegant looking unit . The gentlemen of boomboxes.. it needs a robe and a cigar. Lol
Your collection is nothing but rares and exquisites 🤗

That is one sexy ass box! Congratulations on the score. Bill seems to do kick ass restorations,dude knows his stuff.
Thanks Brother. Yeah. The wood sides are just different and classy. Despite them being plastic pieces made to look like wood, it takes me back to the era when your TV and radio were something you kept forever and were part of your furniture decor. I can't remember the last time I saw anyone detailing a radio or TV with pledgeDbzerk said:
Much appreciated. I am glad I went with this box although I would still like to hear a Telefunkenralrein1 said:
Thanks bt. It's the only box I've owned with wood grain sides and tuner/amp on the bottom. The weighted flywheel is the smoothest I have ever felt. You can just about scroll the entire dial with a firm twist and watch it gobtphoto said:
and it sips batteries. I had it running for at least 10 hours yesterday and my NiMh batteries are still at 1.29V. I think this is going to be a great 'go to' box when I want to enjoy tunes in style.Thanks goodman.goodman said:Congrats for this nice boombox!

Thanks everyone. This box stays on for at least 12 hours a day. I use it primarily for evening listening of the radio, overnight, into the morning. It then gets switched off until I come home. It primarily resides in the bedroom. I fire it up at 8PM as I start to wind down and it runs until around 6 or 7AM.samovar said:
love the wood panels on these, just a stunning box all around, congrats Ryan bud... these should have been branded technics after panasonics higher end stuff
Thanks Rimmer. I agree. My main home theater and record player are Technics. They have held up for many years without any issues. I knew right then and there that Matsushįta products were top notch.Rimmer36 said:love the wood panels on these, just a stunning box all around, congrats Ryan bud... these should have been branded technics after panasonics higher end stuff
