Description from the seller

Rare early-1980s Panasonic portable radio cassette recorder with striking bronze finish and powerful 16 cm speaker.

A stylish and increasingly collectible Panasonic RX-M300 portable radio cassette recorder in its uncommon metallic gold/bronze finish. Combining classic early-1980s Japanese design with Panasonic's renowned build quality, this model features a large 16 cm dynamic speaker, four-band radio reception, one-touch recording and a robust mechanical cassette deck.

This example has been fully tested and is in excellent working condition. The radio receives stations well, the cassette mechanism plays and rewinds correctly, and the speaker produces clear, powerful sound. Supplied with the original power cord.

Panasonic's RX series became famous for producing reliable, great-sounding portable radios and cassette recorders during the golden age of portable audio. Today these machines are highly sought after by collectors for their distinctive styling, mechanical reliability and nostalgic appeal.
