Hi i have an old photo of myself receiving a cassette stereo player for christmas. I am trying to determine the make/model. I think it is panasonic. any help is appreciated.

HI and welcome to the site coffeespecial, it could be a panasonic, although the pic is not to clear i think i have one simillar to it but in sanyo brand, ill post a pic tonight .
or maybe someone else can solve the mistery box.

Welcome coffeespecial,

I couldn't find a Panasonic that matched your photo.  Hopefully driptip can offer help.

How confident are you that it was a Panasonic?  Do you remember where you got it?  It almost looks like this Sharp (many of these were offered in a variety of colors):

wow that could be it! if i could see it in silver/black it should trigger an impulse in my brain. i will look up qt-12... thank you for your help

BTW, your photo reminds me of this guy:

haha! yup i was stoked! it was like getting my first ipod.

unfortunately i dont have that radio anymore , sorry i forgot i got rid of it.
hope some else can help you find it.

  Awesome photo, I don't have anything yet, but I'm still searching through my brochures.

Here's a pic of Boomboxery member JVC838s superb collection of minis but to be honest I'm struggling here too.

How about this GE (General Electric).  Your pic is tough due to the fascia catching the sun but look closely at the way the black strip with tuning dial goes from left to right but dips slightly around the cassette door.  Notice also the wide red tuning needle. 

Any good?

Holy

Crap that's it!! Where do I find one??

Probably more common your side of the pond but this is the GE 3-5281 if you want to keep an eye out for it.

good job Agent O, i never thought it would be a GE. i would suggest to check ebay, easier than yard sales. 

thanks for the photo, im really stoked to see it again!! i have it as my desktop background now! Agent Orange, do you own this stereo?

Wow I'm impressed, AO nailed it ! ebay would be your best bet like driptip stated.
