Slightly off-topic but National branded electronics were big in New Zealand in the 80's. Our first family VCR was a National (silver though, not black). I think a family friend had one with a corded remote control! What a horrible idea - even when it was new.

Anyway, National stuff disappeared and if I remember correctly, "became" Panasonic in NZ in the late 80's/early 90's.
 
I want one too. Not because it is black, but because the noise reduction is removed in favour of a switch for playing one track, four tracks or repeating. And, oh yeah, because it is rare as heck!:cool:

btw, National branded equipment in Japan was Technics to the North Amerrican market. Panasonic was a separate line. I have my scopes (SH 3433 and SH 3434) branded as National as well.
