Vintage Panasonic RE-784A Tube Radio,{SPECTACULAR} AM/FM, Japan 1963

Description: Classic Mid-century tube Radio. A little background I found on this. The National Panasonic Model RE-784A is a vacuum tube AM/FM table radio from the post-war era (1960s) manufactured by National Panasonic (defunct, now Panasonic). The miniature tube-based circuitry follows the "All American Five" tube design, which allowed a more compact footprint of the radio; suited for sitting atop a fireplace mantle or to be mounted under a kitchen cabinet. One feature of the FM band for this radio is AFC tuning, that allowed the listener to "lock-in" an FM station without having to worry about station drifting or drops in audio volume associated with FM station tuning. The radio is rather small when compared to other tube radios available at the time, with the cabinet (not including 4 hard rubber feet) measuring approx. 17.3 × 8.7 × 6.3 inches and weighing in at just a couple pounds. Several options for the case were available, including acrylic. However, wooden cases were more common and constructed from a sturdy laminated plywood with a finished (typically walnut) veneer. The rear of the case was made from fiber pegboard material to allow proper ventilation of heat generated by the tubes inside. The tubes are user-replaceable and are easily accessible with the removal of the 3 Philips screws on the back of the unit. The AC power cable terminates to a 2-prong female plug on the rear pegboard case to discourage powering the unit while the cover is removed, as a safety feature. The circuitry used in the radio is based on the "All-American Five (miniature)" tube setup, sans the 35W4 mini rectifier tube that would have been used at the time in other tube radios.
