National Panasonic - RE-7412LBS Stereo set

itel: National Panasonic RE-7412LBS - FM/AM Multiplex Stereo Receiver with original National Panasonic speakers - 1970s (European Version)

Description: Step back into the golden age of hi-fi with this beautiful and complete stereo set from the top brand National Panasonic. This lot includes the RE-7412LBS receiver along with the original accompanying passive National Panasonic bookshelf speakers. This is the sought-after European version, produced in Japan in the early 1970s. It is a fantastic example of the iconic 'Space Age' and 'Mid-Century Modern' design from that era. The most striking feature is the large, beautifully illuminated round tuning knob that allows you to smoothly scroll through FM and AM stations. This gives the receiver a unique, retro-futuristic look that will be the eye-catcher in any modern or vintage interior.

Condition and operation: This set is in a nice, well-playing condition. The receiver delivers the characteristic warm and full sound that vintage Japanese National Panasonic equipment is known for. All basic functions, knobs and the dial illumination work as expected. Visually, the set is in a neat, fair vintage condition. Both the receiver and the speakers show light signs of use on the wood veneer consistent with an age of over 50 years. The speakers feature the original National Panasonic speaker fabric, which shows slight, age-related wear (see the detailed photos for a precise impression).

A unique opportunity for the collector or enthusiast to acquire a complete, working design classic for the home
