I bought thes three Panasonic’s from a Seller in the Ukraine He reduced the price for all three to 90 euros plus postage of 40 euros. As long as the value of the goods is under 150 Euros there is no duty to pay into the UK but there may be some vat to pay if no vat had been paid to the Seller. I however did not have to pay any at all. The Seller was very helpful and he also rebelted all three machines and cleaned them up as well. They all work well even though he said the quality of the belts he could get in the Ukraine were not the best. Does anyone know or have any suggestions where I could find belts for these machinesjust in case I need to change the belts in the future. The numbers are PK-R7AW which also records though I have not yet tried this. The other two are PK5AW . The one that records has red FF and Rew around the black buttons. They are all All Weather machines and they are very heavy. I had never seen any at all until I found them on his site
I've been watching those units for several years but haven't owned one yet, or any other portable Pioneer. They look like better quality SPORTS models that were pretty popular in the later 80's but were kind of rare, Sony had so many different models and they were pretty nice looking, all the other brands got left behind. I just noticed they have "music search" that must be a great feature.
