There's one on Yahoo!JAPAN with a 30,000 yen ($282) starting bid... Does anybody know anything about these?

It looks Awesome,I like it a lot.I'm sure it sounds great too. I'll bet Peppin knows about this unit.

with skippy

Skippy also.

I always thought that was a very sweet looking box, one of Panasonics better lookers. Hopefully Peppin or someone else can give us an idea how good it is.

I might be wrong, but I think Sinister was selling one of these just a while back

wooden end cheeks always make it better

ah yes...the last great Panasonic boombox on my want list.

the one that sinister is selling was from me
it's good looking
it sounds similar to RC-M50
not much bass but solid built bbx~~absolute solid~!!

I have one I got from peppin. It's a really nice one. The sound is not super great, but it is good though. It was much bigger when I got it than I thought it would be from seeing it in pics only. Everything about it is great quality.
hey monolithic - are there any close up shots of that door sticker? I would like to recreate it.
It's funny that it says disco on that sticker because nothing about it looks disco to me.

Sorry, they only had those 3 pics posted for the auction.

henrytai and appleknocker... It seems that the Disco-M is good to have mainly for the looks and build quality... The sound is good, but not much of a big deal... Still, the fact that it's a rare unit makes it even more attractive than it is.

so you should buy the one from sinister~~!!
because it's a "national panasonic"
