Always wanted one of these from when I got the Panasonic Brochure with it in

Love the Flat Square Honeycombe speakers and the cool 5 band Spectrum Analyzer

Took me so many years before i saw one and had to have it, only to get it and find the tape not working, not so common on panasonic ones, even the older 1 piece always seem to work still. the worst part though, the Spectrum Analyzer doesn't work

I also was on the lookout for the flag ship model RX-200L and even though I would see odd ones in other countries, never seen them in the UK, and I only want them from the UK, I did get one of those too, half the Spectrum Analyzer not working on that

Well I thought it was time to have a look at them

So I taken apart the C53L hoping to find something simple, but no.

I have found out that if you turn off the mains power and back on quickly, it all lights up and works, then quickly fades, so I suppect is has a bad cap somewhere.

More investigation needed, will update of the progress

hope you get the issue sorted mate
