Vintage Panasonic speakers and Sanyo boombox

These vintage Pansonic speakers, circa late 1960s or maybe early '70s, are ruggedly built with wooden cabinets wrapped with vinyl upholstery and aluminum edges. I demonstrate them using the external speaker outputs of my early '80s Sanyo M9935K, with AM, FM, and two bands of Shortwave.

is the M9903K similar

[vwestlife]

No... I found a picture of it and the M9903K appears to be smaller and a totally different design.

I bet they would strip the paint off the walls with a tube amp or LOW watt early solid state receiver

Good day, Salemcripple is correct. (except early 1970's not 1960's) Your speakers belonged with an AM/FM stereo/ record player. Basically a "bookshelf stereo" from 1970/71. A friend had a damaged one in a second-hand shop in 1988. He sold the stereo to 1 person, the speakers to another, & I bought the speaker cords. I still have them (1 yet, anyway). In 1960's the products were labelled National, then later National Panasonic, lastly Panasonic. You should be able to find orig player yet

I just got a vintage (late 60's) Panasonic turntable/ AM FM receiver that has nearly the same exact speakers (only difference is mine have a wood finish). And they are original, i know that for a fact. I'm thinkin yours came from the same system.

my grandfather has 3 of the same boomboxes in his cellar i think from like..... 1970-80

[MSNIMSM]

Those wer probobly an accesory for something like a reel to reel or a boom box.

[8trackworld]

Very nicely made,typical of the early National stuff.Probably came from a long gone reel to reel,like CassetteMaster says.
