Panasonic RS-847US

Rarity: Common

Price: $80.00-150.00


This deck is a much better example of Panasonic's home deck line-up than the RS-844US. It is built much better and operates smoother.

I've had one of these since '74. It sounds great and is very well made. I recently acquired its' recorder brother, RS 858. Back in the day, I had one of those for a short while. These machines have a common issue: the motor. As you know, a Q8 has twice as much tape as a stereo 8. The motor has issues playing some Q8's. Other than that, it's a wonderful deck.
 
I picked this one up at a local swap meet. Cleaned up and works well. PART_1475584476462_IMG_20161004_052739.jpg. It's sad to see a nice piece sitting on a tarp on the ground. Couldn't pass it by.
