[redbenjoe]

[floyd]

yes ira the crown amp works great and super powerful and clean sounding.

 

[MasterBlaster84]

Awesome, we should all have friends like that.

This is just one tiny segment of society, how much useful and even valuable stuff is thrown into land fills everyday? :'-(

I can send you my address and you can send some stuff to me.

if you talk to your garbage man and tell him what youre looking for you would be shocked what happens ,these guys find so much stuff its mind boggling.

Congrats floyd, nice finds!
Have 2 of those pannys, classic mono box.
With a little cosmetical help a real keeper.

See the difference?
Mine are National Pana´s!

 

[devol-toni]

Congrats Floyd, nice units and great friend you got there,


Roman @ Floyd's pany have another one diference, is marked with "LTD" - limited edition I supposed.
I don't know is there true differences in some functions etc.

 

[floyd]

i can say the little panasonic sounds great ,and loud for such a small unit ,it has a pretty good tuner as well.

 

[ahardb0dy]

Nice finds, congrats

 

[THAFUZZ]

Nice stuff there Floyd. I thought I remembered another member having the same National Panny. It's like Christmas when your weekly Santa brings you special gifts.

 

[floyd]

my buddy tj is a great guy i mean he just stops by my house whenever he has stuff for me ,he goes through alot of hassles to even save this stuff for me and he dont hold back he gives me the cream of the crop he even re cycles copper so i have gotten at least 25 boombox cords from him and computer cables speakers amps eq's subwoofers ,its shameful what gets thrown away but i'll take it lol.

@floyd: Just remembered, i own the Operators Manual of the RQ-517S.
If you want a scan, let me know.
