Has Badger bagged another Panasonic sh*tbox? RX5300 LE

[ClaretBadger]

99pence?

and the auction title was a typo


[ebay]250619651439[/ebay]


Let's hope this turns up better packed - and it better condition than the 5100


*fingers crossed*

It appears to be in pretty good condition. Good luck!

Got my 5500 today

looks clean - sounds 80's - you know what i mean
This is quality little item - shame it's not a 5700 - but LED VU's will do for now!

With my battered RX5010

The title is not a typo - to celebrate my 99p 5300 - I brought this 5500 at a more "optimistic" selling price - so that';s how I justified it to my wallet.


I get the 5300 on Saturday - I will do a "group" photo at the weekend also.

I still want glue's 5700!!!!!!

Great buy on the 5300 badger, congrats.

Those 5500's are good solid boxes and yours looks really nice.

 

[ClaretBadger]

aplogies for the crappy camera phone shots

I'll get my Nikon trained on it later

 

[Fatdog]

That 5500 is so much better looking than my 5150. Hell, I'd settle for the 5250.

Good going, dude!

Tape transport CORRECT way round - check
One antenna - which retracts inside the body - check
no LOUDNESS button - check
no split volume - check



no soft touch controls - but hey, you can't have everything.

This is a keeper

Well done, Claret!

Your 5500 looks in great condition.

Mine is borderline beater/parts only, unfortunatelty.
Great to see one in such good preloved nick.



Rock On.

Nice Box and even better price!

1 antenna, means one less to break...
Loudness is for pussies!
Split volume,...Who listens to a stereo box in mono?
Nothing wrong with "Crunch" buttons!

Am I wrong or are these Panasonic's very under rated?

The styling is very simple, but VERY true to the whole 80's quintessential design.

It seems like Sharp and Panasonic made a whole spectrum of quality depending on how much money you wanted to spend

 

[ClaretBadger]

on the price matter - the RX5300 has not arrived yet
I paid 99 pounds for the RX5500

I reasoned I could split the overall cost over boith boxes - as the 5500 is in great condition
I hope the 5300 is half as good

 

[Lasonic TRC-920]

Did this box show up yet? Looking forward to seeing pictures!

 

[ClaretBadger]

Getting the 5300 in 2 hours
