Toot-a-Loop? Take 'n' Tape? Panapet? What was your fave 70s Panasonic product?

So what Panasonic products did you groove to in the 70s? What color was it? Where did you take it?

I had a red Toot-a-Loop radio that I got for my 8th birthday. I used to listen to WABC in NYC on it. It went all over w/ me, and lasted me until past high-school. I also had the '77 version of the Take 'n' Tape, (a little sleeker than the '73 version) in red that I got for my 11th birthday. I loved taping my brother's records, making goofy recording w/ my friends, heck I even audio taped "The Wiz" when it came on TV. I had it until my mid 20s.

I have a Toot-a-Loop now, (missing the tuning dial), but I would really love to have that Take 'n' Tape again.

What memories do you have of these colorful 70s music makers?

Back in the day I used to have a gray mono Emerson 8-track

Also had a Soundesign all in one stereo (cheap department store brand)

Speaking of 8-tracks, I did leave out the Dyn-O-Mite Panasonic 8-track player (but I ran outta room in the title! )

My brother had the Parapet radios. I'm not sure of the color. I want to say either red and yellow or red and blue. I look at them on ebay from time to time.

Wow...I really thought this post would evoke some memories. No one had any of this stuff?

[thunderbolt]

nope, I just had a regular old radio.

Not Panasonic, but I have a working one of these JVC Videosphere's at my office, with the clock radio too!

Love this stuff! I collect it! Never bought a piece off eBay all of it found at fleas/yard sales/thrifts.

Love those panasonic r-70 radios. Have about 4 (one is boxed).

Not panasonic, but I found this guy last week for $25 at a thrift:

Hey! I just found this! I wish I could find the Toot-a-loop commercial.
