This was the hottest boombox selling in 1988 when I was in the military 🪖 assigned in (West) Germany at the time. Plus, this was amazing when I plugged in my TV, which surround sound, into the CD line-in jack. Set the EQs on both the box and the TV just right and detached the speakers. The effects were wonderful. I missed that thing, great times. 👍
I bought a second hand one same like that it was in perfect condition _ original made in Japan _ I was deeply in love with this RX _ even though I had a bigger more modern Kenwood HiFi system but this one was really something special to me _ ❤❤❤
My theory is that Panasonic was just so hardcore badass so they used sliding volume working as designed to be set to be on full blast. Or off. -- Ah and yeah so sad about Long Wave, very few stations left, but we have one. They sound so nice and very lo-fi. But endearingly lo-fi. Icelandic national radio still broadcasts on LW at 189KHz blasting from the largest radio mast in Europe -412m high at 300kW, which is probably enough to reach Eastern Candada on a good day - the mast was built for LORAN-C by the US and we got it as a hand-me-down when LORAN-C became obsolete.
I may hook up a large antenna one night to see what I get on one of my LW capable radios. I'm in the middle of the continent so very unlikely to reach this far, but who knows!
I have Technics (made by Pana) bluetooth headsets, and the equalizer frequency banding in the phone application is very similar to this boombox. :D Very gorgeous, and seems to be high quality machine!
Hello, what are the differences of the sound quality & the performance between the National RX CW55 & the Panasonic RX-CW55L ? which one is better in all? Thank you.
Definitely from 1988. Here's a 1987/88 (European) Panasonic catalog with it featured on page 40: archive.org/details/panasonic-programm-video-tv-audio-87-88/page/40/mode/2up In 1983, most of their stuff was still an older design language with lots of silver plastic instead of black.

My beloved cassette recorder ❤️
Man, that model is going for a pretty penny on ebay right now
I can't believe you actually found a recording blank cassette let alone a classic boombox D: Wowzers!!!

A Japanese masterpiece of the 80s

"High School Confidential" by Rough Trade... a great song that is unknown here in the USA!
That song plays so much here on classic rock stations. One of those songs that gets overplayed to meet CanCon requirements.
is amazing!!! I love it!!!

where is aviable this boom box
Regalenme. Una de. Esas. Bellezas.
I sure feel like I’ve seen this video before 😉
9:00 That's morse code. From what I know, you have to tune a little bit slower on shortwave to pick anything up.
I think the morse code is about all I've ever heard on Long Wave. I don't think that band was ever used over here.
does it play metal and all the other tape formants also
It will record on Type I and Type II (chrome) tapes, but only play back Type IV (metal) tapes - no recording.
@@probnotstech oh but still cool for what it can do
I have one of these that came in a box with a purchase receipt dated 1983, so much earlier date of release than you assumed…
