Panasonic SG-J555L Boombox (Turntable / Cassette / Tuner)

• Previously Owned
• Collection from Holdrons Arcade Only

We are delighted to present this Panasonic SG-J555L Stereo Music System. A portable battery / mains powered vinyl turntable boombox from the 1980's. Made in Japan, it boasts a front loading slide-out Belt-Drive Turntable (33 / 45 RPM), single auto-stop Cassette Player, FM / MW / LW Stereo Tuner, Headphone output and Microphone input.

Panasonic emblazoned the unit with "Ambience", which definitely sounds impressive! In reality the Ambience feature was similar to a tone switch or Loudness boost (though it had a Loudness button as well), which would emphasize the mid range frequencies to give the music a fuller sound. 

According to its current owner, this boombox was previously owned by Andrew Ashong, which we can only imagine helped soundtrack many magical moments. This boombox is in great condition, with all parts working as intended (Turntable / Cassette / Tuner).

The speaking grills are slightly indented and there are some scratches to the facade. The retractable turntable mechanism requires some encouragement in order for the turntable to extend. Vinyl playback is good and keen audiophiles should consider replacing the EPS 41ST (Sapphire) stylus with a new one for optimal sound.
