Very nice panasonic's indeed retro,Panasonic models some design's remind me of my Mona wich i still own very simillar in style wise,just a thought though,retro do you think as a newer 3piece the DT680,would look pretty reto in the silver colour?

Maybe some one on here could photo shop the DT 680 ? In silver

Well, if it isn't my #2 favorite box of all time

Thanks Retro for putting up this wealth of pics and info on a truly outstanding portable.

Thanks guys, PF can you compare it's sound to the RX-DT680?

Had this in the day. Spent so much time with it. Powered my teenage. I still remember the feel of the weighted tuning. Heavy, sounded good, robust. Ordered from JR music world and had it sent up to the great beyond. Did well with cassette playback...rockin' tape player (just don't turn it up all the way). The curve of the florescent display is etched on my retinas.
