National Panasonic RS-466FDS restoration

[staplegun]

This is an early b-day present and I got it all ready for tomorrow/today depending on when this is read. Here is a start to finish overview/pics
It was kinda dirty but very scratched/scuffed so I sanded/wet sanded and painted her up nice.
Got the tape deck working
Got the line in working properly
Got the radio working again
Now in really nice shape overall

I love this one already. It has such a nice sound and is pretty loud for it's size. Plus it's built like a tank

And if it's good enough for the Boss...it's good enough for me

and now...the clean up

I can tell, I am gonna bring this lil guy everywhere. Classic box

I believe the first time saw this model was back in 1978 or so. At that time it was unbelievable to see box like that such powerful sound.

It had a green arrow sticker on the cassette door showing the total power in Watts (7.2). That was a big WOW then.

It was hard to believe how it pumped such powerful and clean sound.

Even if you crank the volume high this model had no distortion. It sounded awesome!

You got the 4 band which is the top model of this. I got the 2 band of the same in mint condition.

I love it!
