this sucks.............this REALY SUCKS

[colt45john]

Left my blaster on the dinning room table and went out to mow the lawn, came back in and found it on the floor! I don't know what happened but our dog must have pulled it off the table by the cord. That's all I can think of as no one else was home. Some might say it aint a big deal as it's not a M90 or a CF100 but that little Panny means a lot to me. It was the last thing my dad gave me before he passed away in 2012, that radio re-ignited my interest in boomboxes again.

ouch! that is very fixable though!! get yourself some acrylic cement!

 

[colt45john]

I was going to try and glue the pieces back in but strangely I can only find a small amount of whats missing. The radio dial lens cracked also

 

[blu_fuz]

Crap man! Does it still work ok?

 

[colt45john]

works as perfectly as ever, thankfully the damage is all cosmetic.

Get a parts donor if you like it so much! I'm not sure what model it is, should be not that rare. This is what I did to restore my childhood RQ-4050FD

 

[JustCruisin]

Oh man! I would be heartbroken!
I just got one of these 5100 a few days ago, and already it's become a personal favorite of mine!
Never thought I would love a Tone box so much..
Coincidentally, I'm jammin it right now! Sorry for your loss..View attachment 21122

Its a RX-5100 which is far from rare, I eluded to that in my original post. Its not only that I liked it, it had a lot of sentimental value to me. I'm going to check and see If anyone on here has parts and save Ebay as a last resort.

 

[colt45john]

I really like the Panasonics from era, I have an RX-5050 to me its a great sounding box

Dude that sux. I once fell off a ladder while pulling down a D8300 and literally threw it across the garage. it was me or the boombix at that moment. shattered the box. had it been just about any other box I owned I would have been sad lol.

 

[floyd]

those are nice radio's . i had one , gave it to another member . it was a good box and i really like it . these can crank out some sound. these are heavier than they look and very well built .

 

[redbenjoe]

since its very important to you --
spare no time or $$ --just buy a donor right away -- and you will have a
a good case and good class

Man, that bites a big one.

On the other hand, those extra pieces may still show up. You might have to follow the dog around, but you never know... :nugget:

 

[Dr DER]

RX-5100?

 

[colt45john]

RX-5100?

you are correct.

This can be fixed....
See this thread: https://boomboxery.com/forum/index.php/topic/20794-body-work-gf-8989z/

Step by step instructions on how to do it. I had no small pieces either.

YOU CAN DO THIS! If you have any questions, just ask me.

This is what I started with...


This is what I finished with...

I may just do that Lasonic, I've welded patch panels in cars for years I should be able to do that. Thanks for the help!

You can do it man!

 

[MyOhMy]

Dear Me, that's terrible but not just because of the damage but because of the history and sentimental value as well. I hope you can take some comfort and inspiration from the link in Lasonic TRC-920's post, a labour of love can produce truly spectacular results. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks MyOhMy, and by the way I like your avatar it looks just like our cat!
