I found this ancient peice. I got it from a guy who paid the original owner $40 for it some years ago. The guy who originally owned it claimed it was the first panasonic transistor receiver and was very desireable. Is it??? I have no clue...its built like a tank and its in farely good condition for its age except for the fact that the 3 fuses are missing in the back...including their holders. Anyone know anything about on of these....Is it worth getting it repaired. I would be very curious to know what it sounds like . Does anybody know when its from...Looks to me like its mid to late 60's maybe earlier. Looks very complex and well made. Please give info.

I think you should go ahead and just purchase an upgraded one. That one sounds like its on its way to being dead really soon.

The fuses are missing. There is absolutly no power. It also needs fuse caps. I am sure i can find the fuses and the caps. I took it to a shop and they told me it also needs a new power supply, but that is what they always say. NEW POWER SUPPLY $120, $140, $160. They are a bunch of theiving liers. I bet if I just foudn the fuses and the caps I would have a working receiver. Do you know what year it is from or anything at all about it? Please let me know? Where can I get a moded one?
