hi everyone, I just started to collect Panasonic players. So far I have in my collection: RQ-X01 RQ-X11 RQ-S60
I am guessing that these are Walkman panasonics correct? Because I don't have too many panasonics but the RQ sounds familiar. As far as walkmans go, I have a lot of boomboxes by Panasonic but not too many walkmans
That's correct. The main one for now is the Panasonic RA-X01 from one simple reason - I bought it in NOS condition, so the only thing that it needed was new belt. Remaining require some work. I'm waiting for some players to arrive from Japan - RQ-SX60 and RQ-SX33. I forgot to list SX-55 above So that makes 7 players in collection so far.
Welcome to the forum, we don't have many Panasonic Only Fans. I've got some of the big early chunky models like the RS-J3 and just a few of the other early ones. One of our former members, John Edwards, did a long write up on several of the Panasonic's he owned, I'm not sure if it was reposted up here or if you have to go down into the forum_reader to find it.
Here is my partial collection. Still waiting for parts for the SX55 (2nd from the right) Others that are not included in the photo: SX60 is being delivered next week. And S60+S33 that are were sent to UK for repair.
This is what I like to see. Pictures of the actual walkmans with model numbers that I can relate to because I may have them. And also I don't have to search the internet to find whatever model belongs to whatever model number. I can see it all right here. Yay!
Ah yeah, I know what you mean. Starting from the back: RQ-X01 - I used to own same model 25 years ago, this was my first purchase when returning to the casettes, RQ-X11 - blue one, just finished repairs and restoring it plays great RQ-SX55 - this one is under renovation, waiting for parts. RQ-SX33 - received it today from Japan, bought as-is for 60$ (+tax as I live in EU). Visualy it is close to mint but I failed to get it up and running on the first go. The w&f is out of the roof and I have no idea why. Probably need new rollers as well
