PANASONIC TUBE RADIO




On the left (white case) is my PANASONIC Model 740. I found it recently at the Salvation Army Thrift Store in Mentor. This relic prompted me to do some Internet research, but I didn't find much. Apparently, this kind of techno-artifact has slipped into obscurity. Still, a couple of related images appeared. Above, right is a Model 782 Panasonic, with wood case. It is from 1959. At the top (black and white two-tone case) is the Model 730. All appear to use a similar chassis. Note the left-hand speaker, rectangular tuning display, and four-knob controls.
