    Panasonic RF-2800 from 1978, a little too refined for me, I'm sure it's nice but give me the military look!

    In the 1970s they were the most common type of music system here in the U.K. My frirnds parents and my Uncle had them.
    Putting together a compilation CD of 70s hits and need something to define the era ?

    I'll admit I bought that because of the cover.
    Want High End ? Is Bang and Olufsen high enough ?

    Back in the 1970s you could tell how expensive a stereo was by how wide and thin it was.
    What is all that space to the left of the turntable for ? Of course by the mid 1980s even the Bang and Olufsen looked dated and everyone wanted a black stack system sat on black ash shelves.

    I was just watching the English Guy on YouTube talk about B&O Stuff, he kind of likes it and agrees the cabinets are up-scale and the sound is nice. I wonder if the record companies kept horizontal all-in-one sales tamped down over here, as a kid I would have loved running the tape deck on both the TT and radio. I always had to go to an older buddies house and "borrow" the system stack for taping an album or two.

    I think this is new, Panasonic Tech Series from 1975 including the luscious RQ-455S.

    Not a boombox but an interesting model from 1969, the Panasonic RS-280S. It looks like you could have a cool wall-mounted stereo with this one.

    I've got a lot of low and high-end from this time, most of them do have the famous "tin" sound with micro-light speakers but a few do shine and actually have decent sound. Of course us old guys remember they never were good at bass and music at the time didn't have a lot of it.

    Personally I just love the looks, they put a lot of time into the design and making it the right size for a portable, some of these would have been really cool if they added another speaker to them.

    But for the time (1974) Model rf 888 ... the only thing missing is the stereo ... Already a loudness and a double cone speaker .... with tone control ... an excellent reception more some accessories like the timer ... 1974 not 84 ... Maybe at the time there weren't many radio transmitters in stereo that's why it's a Mono version

    For a long time the main argument was that it was pointless having stereo unless the speakers were a couple of yards (metres) apart.
    Most "portable" stereos from that time had one or sometimes two detachable speakers so they could be separated. It is interesting to see the emphasis Sony put on stereo separation, achieved using extra side mounted speakers, in their adverts for their 1970s one piece stereos.

    I was just a rug-rat but I think stereo and quad were so new and exciting for most non-hifi people that stereo boomboxes were kind of a pinnicle, these small boxes were capable of pretty nice sound. While the high-end mono's also had some nice internals, they were percieved as not as nice and didn't get the love and attention as the stereo models. Those were good times being a young kid and watching all of these amazing products flood the market just for playing music.

    By the end of 1982 music centres were becoming more affordable

    Those with plenty money would have been buying Technics stack systems, while the more budget minded were buying Amstrad stack systems which probably sounded worse than this Panasonic.
