The Holy Grail.

Postby StanTheMan » Mon Jul 02, 2007 1:23 pm

I have to get this out.
a few minutse ago I revieved the Original OEM panasonic Radio/cassete/CD player in the mail.

to say:\"I am absolutley tickeled pink.\" would be an understatement. I've been loocking for one of theses for at least 4 years. I just couln't let it go.

I know its not the type of thing the sound enthusiasts rave aboput but its not about that. The crappy CD palyer i have in there now only works on one speaker. Loocks totally out of place & was supposed to be original erquipment. But its not

This is the real deal. It loocks in good shape & i'm sure it works. If it doesn't I don't care at least it is the Original fits snuggly & is black.


Thanks heaps to the ebayer who resides on this forum, even reduced the postage handling when he realise he'd overquoted.

Thanks heaps mx5_boy. I'm a very happy camper.

Is this the unit with all the EQ settings and everything? I've always wondered what one of those would go like.

EQ = Equalizer. Let's you fiddle with bass/treble/mid etc settings. I have a vague recollection about reading about mazda bringing out some crazy (for the time it was released) sound system in MX5's that had EQ stuff on it. Is this the deck?

I understand totally Stan! I like the factory gear as it matches the interior trim and the buttons/controls are more logical and ergonomic than aftermarket stuff. I guess there are better options if you are after better sound quality however...

Are you going to Eastern Creek?

Are you sure? I would assume any EQ hardware/software would apply for any audio playing through the system?
