Nice video. Just wondering what is the build quality on Panasonic's. Also would this unit hookup to a normal receiver without a pre-amp. I have a SoundDesign receiver/cassette/vinyl unit that has cd/tv/aux hookups on the back. Old electronics are kind of my hobby. What would be a decent price for one?
The build quality on this unit is quite good. I have not trouble using this on a modern JVC reviver without a preamp, however, I have to align the tape heads, because I was getting a lot of cross-track interference.
Are you positively certain, this is the very same make & model? The reason I ask is that you can check out a video here on YouTube. "Charleston Heston-Omega Man-Eight Track and Scotch". I can't get the full view of the 8 track player, but the one you have displayed here is a very nice model!!!
I have a similar model which was RS-804US, but mine has an eject button, but yours doesn't. Great to hear Glenn Miller on 8-Track. One of me and "TheFlicker98's" favorite big band performer.
Thanks, how do you align the tape heads.

@matmroy Further to my earlier posting I found some cartridges and plugged the
player in to my Technics SH-EH600 (another gift from my son,more on that later)
So away went my National er Panasonic er National player and I,m so pleased
to be reunited with it I will keep it hooked up and try and source more cartridges.

@matmroy Guys whats going on here? Check out my videos! I have just posted
the identical player with the same model number (RS-802US but mine is a
National made by Matsushita probably about the same age !?
