strange NATIONAL-PANASONIC came in

[ViennaSound]

Saturday was a great flea day.
First i found a yellow MOVING SOUND.
Then a big brown PHILIPS soundmachine ....

Finally i went through the rows of the indoor area.
Expected no find, always the same dealers here.
Always?
No, here is a new one.
And wow, what is this strange looking thing on the table?!?

a big fat NATIONAL-PANASONIC

never seen such unit before...

heavy like made of bricks. A really tank

The sound of it is quite strong

tape is fully working

the scale is very strange
The pointer is a line on the glass
The scale is a foil, moving up and down
But works great

analog VUs
And check the covered holes.
Maybe for additional mics?

tape buttons

This box is.... other...

no grip, but strap

one for the database

Finally a sizecomparo with the SOUNDMACHINE :super:

Crazy: the seller told me he had 5 big boxes around.
This was the last one... :'-(

The last, but not the least..

[Gluecifer]

That model should be standard issue to all nuclear fallout shelters.

[devol-toni]

I love it , congrats Roman

 

[ViennaSound]

I love it , congrats Roman

I know you love it as N.P. fan
btw: the guy who passed on it was from ex-yugoslavia.
For sure he wanted to export it.

Love the moving scale on it.
Was N.P. the only label who produced such ones?

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Wow Roman that's got to be a rare one, I can't recall ever seeing anything like it.

 

[mellymelsr]

Very Nice. Looks like it is built like a tank. Congrats.

 

[Old school Scott]

Very interesting, and I'm glad it's fully functional.
The covered holes are for fuel, it runs on diesel.

Cheers OSS

 

[devol-toni]

The covered holes are for fuel, it runs on diesel.

That holes is for the microphone (stereo i think), similar like this one for RS-4350

BTW, It must be a rare bird that National Panasonic RS-4250.
So far I have seen only "National" - (Japanese domestic) variant of that model, never -National Panasonic- or -Panasonic-

 

[ViennaSound]

Wow, that mics are beautiful
Must search for similar ones.

btw: with diesel it does´nt work good.
It´s awful smoking....
