Hello All,
I have recently found, in a box I haven't opened in 20 years my Panasonic RQ-S40V walkman. This was actully my second one, having worn out the first one and having loved it's performance so much I spent the big money not once but twice! Big money meaning, over $300 for this unit new!
These featured the very first rechargeable battery that I had seen in a personal listening devise. It also had an external single AA battery holder that clipped onto the side. The headset has a full logic controller on the wire, again, I believe this to be a first.
But the most amazing feature of this radio was it's size! Barely bigger than a cassette itself and weighing practically nothing.
The sonic performance of this player is what brought me back to it twice. AMAZING true sound and LOUD!
But with any small device, it was fragile. I broke the head phones on both that I owned as well as the external clip on battery pack. The rechargeable battery technology wasn't the best back in 92-93??? when these were new.
So, I am looking for a few items for this player.
1) the headset. It is unique to this device with the remote control built in.
2) the battery charger.
I have found a place that claims to have these items including a replacement battery, but I have not spoken to them to see if they actually stock them. Plus they are VERY expensive new.
Please PM me if you have any parts or even a full unit!
