- Beautiful lowboy cabinet with cowboy legs. The Panasonic SE9000 has been fully restored. The amplifier has been recapped . The reel to reel player has been fully restored with new belts and pinch roller. The turntable has been upgraded with a premium turntable complete with Shure stereo cartridge and preamp. This console stereo also features MFB (motional feedback) technology within it's sealed cabinets for extremely clear, full and balanced sound.
I just picked up my mother's national which is identical to the Panasonic, I'm starting the restoration process on mine it is dear to my heart, I'm trying to locate somebody that I can trust with it to do the work. These are a real piece of history and they sound great, I lossed my mother 11 years ago and every time I touch this console I feel that she's with me.
depends on the model and year as well as condition
David Disbrow Good memories for you!
Sorry to hear about the mother you lost.
National is Panasonic. It orginated in Japan. A few years later they changed to Panasonic. ABBA was chosen to do a commercial for them. It is to the tune of Fernando.
Wow they really don't make them like they use to. Wish I had this :)
I have one that I purchased in Japan 50 years ago when I was in the USAF and brought home. Still works
This Panasonic is not only a beautiful piece of furniture but also all the access is on the top of the console. Well designed. I sure miss those console days of the 50's & 60's.
My dad brought one of these home when came back from Vietnam in ‘72. I had it until around 2008. Wish I had kept it 😞
My understanding is most of these in the US were purchased at the PX's in Vietnam and brought back to the USA. You can still find them if you watch craigslist/offerup, etc.
I would be proud if I owned this console. AMAZING.
This is the first time I am seeing a Japanese built Panasonic brand Stereo Console of the 1960's or early 1970's era! It is beautiful.
AUX input for the win- Bluetooth and/or CD player plug and go. Amazing fully functional audio system ~55 years old.
I'd have thought AM and/or analog FM would be off the air by now, but looks like here to stay, for the better
Yup, did it on my 72 model, did not altered the cabinet at all to add the Bluetooth ❤
Sounds amazing
These items are usually called Sound Console, but I prefer call it a Masterpiece.
Turntable in this one is a BSR 810, top of the range at the time.
This is a great record player
Now this is the kind of console I'd love to have in my collection
Шик модерн! И вертушка и маг и радио, три в одном в красивом и прочном корпусе из дерева. Такой аппарат на Века по наследству, если не ломать.
I want one!
Great job in restoring this 👏
Thank you!
Beautiful! Very valuable
You lucky bastard
I brought the exact one from a young girl for $125 it works great all original the only issue is the reel 2 reel it will spin for a second and then stop. They really sound good I was surprised
I never knew anyone made a console with a BSR 810 turntable in it!
The 810 is a great table, don't be fooled by the BSR label. 7lb platter and sounds comparable to my Dual 1019. They can still be found at a good bargain price.
@@phazerbrains Oh yeah, although people associate BSR with their low end changers in budget stereos, they were capable of making quality products. The 810 and the 710 (which didn't have the pitch control) more than held their own with the German-built Dual and Miracord turntables of the day. And people forget that BSR made the Accutrac (under their ADC brand) which was a very fine direct-drive table even without the automation.
@@Meridian83West I agree. However, the 710 does have pitch control. The only difference between the 710 and 810 is the arm. (I have repaired both models). Furthermore, Miracord built the mechanisms in the 710/810 under contract, BSR only built the tonearms.
@@phazerbrains Thanks for the correction. I thought I'd heard BSR contracted the mechanism to Miracord.
BSR made several decent decks but they weren't taken seriously because BSR made them. It's a shame but that's brand identity for you.
Really good clarity for a console.....
The cellphone video doesn't even do it justice. The unique thing about this console is that each side is a completely sealed 3-way speaker. So it sounds like a component system instead of a console, and also has very punchy bass projection.
So nice
Sweet!
Wow!

i just bought a Magnavox reel to reel that looks very much like the one in that
Very nice.
Rare to hear a Men at Work tune on a reel-to-reel tape player.
One of my mixtapes!
You got that one right on
@@phazerbrains I remember buying Concertapes at a Radio Shack.
Que coisa mais linda!! ❤️
Recommend:
Change the wooden floor to a same color as your Panasonic consol.
Add 3 little pictures frame same color dark brown and bronze border, they can show advertising of this device.
Put a bronze hornament on consol when it closed. Walls in sand-light brown tone will look nice, modern and warm. Add a foot-lamp by side un bronze finishing too.
My suggests from Santiago, Chile. 🇨🇱
Very strange comments, but thank you?
@@phazerbrains hahahaha yessss, rare comment. I imagined your room this way, also you can buy a bergere with long legs as classic 60s modernity. Huggs, man.
Nice .
Im late to the party here, but im working on the exact model. Do you have any resources you could share for the turn table breakdown and repair? Thanks in advance, and I love your finished example.
I treat all turntables the same way. Completely disassemble, remove every trace of sticky grease, and reassemble. Replace idler wheel (or belt) with a new one. Finally, get a new stylus.
Awesome!

Abraço 👍
Same R2R that magnavox uses in there consoles ... branded magnavox of course ...
Yes. Also sold as "National". Panasonic was the manufacturer, and sold them to other companies to rebrand. Despite the minimal feature set, it is a robust and good sounding deck.
@@phazerbrains I got one for nothing because it did not work , I figured parts for the magnavox should I ever need it... but I found it was not bad to get going again ... and it actually sounds better than the one in the magnavox....lol
what kinds of speakers does it have ? u looked inside the unit ! do you know much power it puts out watts per channel ? i almost forgot panasonic made these big cabinet stereos!!
I have since sold this one, and I forget the wattage per channel, but it can go quite loud, more than most consoles. There are the typical 3 driver setup per speaker with passive crossovers. The really nice thing about this particular console is the speakers are sealed, so it has incredible tight punchy bass and strong projected sound - different than most consoles with open back speakers. Rock music sounds particularly good on this console.
That's cool

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have this same console...it is amazing quality !!! Mine is fully working as well....however....the turntable is slightly different. When I finish playing an album tho the tonearm returns to roughly the middle of the album 33....like it is playing a 45.....not sure why this is or how I fix this.
On this one I swapped out the original turntable for this one which is much nicer. The one that came with these is not very good and tracks very heavy - not good for your records. Most any BSR or Garrard changer will fit in there pretty easily.
just An adjustment and cleaning up. you have to look at the mechanics from underneath the player.
FANCY
A real keeper.
i don't see a loudness switch on the console.
?
Did you stay with the original speakers?
Absolutely. Unlike most consoles, this one has sealed cabs. They are very punchy with great bass response.
DELUXE is my French name origin, your welcome.
Do you know if this was made in Japan or the USA?
Made in Japan.
@@phazerbrains I did not realize that the Japanese were into building big consoles like that due to the small size of their homes. I thought it was made in the US using Panasonic components.
@@pedrofernandez8729 These were designed for export to the US. Many of them were sold in the PX's during the Vietnam war to soldiers who shipped them back home.
@@phazerbrains Thanks for the explanation, now it makes perfect sense.
Please , write the type name and year of production ! 👍
Looks like a Panasonic SE-9000HG
@@thatClarkguy right
Is this for sale?
No.
