Large mono boxes: National 5410 & Telesonic CA-8000

Congrats!!

 

What are the 4 small holes on the right side of your RQ-568? Is that just the condensor mic?

 

Yeah. I thought that was the case as well, but the sticker o the motor was false hope. Nothing was under it. I'll go look more closely, perhaps. Though it's worth noting that with the right belt size, I don' need to actually adjust the speed. So it's just a matter of my curiosity.

 

Looks very nice indeed. I hope you got a great deal on that

 

Correct! One for the mic, and three more fakes just for looks

Hope to get it in one piece, and the price seems pretty fair to me: under $200 with shipping. Would be nice to get one for $20 but I just could not wait for a "deal", esp after reading @Reli note that it compares favorably to RC-550 - RF-5410

 

Mine was just that sort of a "deal" you mentioned But it seems that it's more dead than I hoped. I'm not that comfortable fiddling with the electronics, so I may have to send this to someone to repair...

@stuck-in-time do not rush sending it out, once I upload my resto efforts on RF-5410 maybe it will help you. What is wrong with yours?

@Reli you mentioned Service Manual for RQ-568, I know that I emailed you about it a few weeks/months ago but if you managed to find Service Manuals for RQ-568 and RF-5410 I would like to buy them.

 

There's a couple sources online for the RF-5410 manual.
But the RQ-568 was only sold in Japan, right? So Yahoo Japan is probably the only place you'd find a manual for it. I did find this image of the front cover on Google, which is how I got the specs:

 

I'll definitely look forward to seeing that, then!

 

I truly adore both.
