1977 Panasonic TR-5000

A great-looking combination TV/Radio/Cassette Recorder from Panasonic in 1977. The television and cassette recorder don't work right on my unit but the radio works great. It will look good on the shelf with my other vintage electronics.

I had a mid 1980s Sony Watchman. Loved that thing! I would use it on Friday nights to watch DALLAS on CBS.

Excelente ese TV con radio a cassette y en estilo retro. Cuando para esa epoca los equipos asi de tecnológicos eran asi como al estilo nave espacial. Y era lo más super grande. Ya ahora lo ven como inecesario pero para esa epoca de ese TV era lo más tecnológico.

I love the 70's-80's Panasonic portable radios/TV's. Especially that "Military/Tactical Tech" design style they used. Have a growing collection...told my wife I could have worse hobbies! I just picked up one of these via auction. Same issue with the Tape Player, but if I touch the head I do get some static. But no motor activity. Radio is fine. The TV gives me "hash" on the screen. Still have to see if the tuner/etc. is okay via a DTB. But mine came with the Battery Tubes!

[@djhightek2000]

Lucky for me, I got one of these things today along with one of those vintage steel military helmet that looks very, very old. I want to say 1940s. I love this stuff.

Just plugged the NES into my TR-5000, works great!

That is one of the coolest vintage portable TV's I've ever seen! Great find!

Had the same exact model I bought at a fedmart dept store back in 1977 I was very young when I bought it I believe I paid 129$ back then which seem kind of high for back then though I kick myself for taking it back didnt have it long I needed the money though it was very nice unit funny you mentioned about the battery compartment of how the batteries fell out same exact problem I had with mine as well wish they was still making these units.

[@arturomatos5429]

I have one from my dad, it works, very nice!!

[@DanOConnorTech]

Very cool!

[@2-trueman918]

I just picked one up today, and my tape player dose t work either, but it did come with the battery tubes. Radio works a treat👍👍

How much is one of these worth?

good work my friend

[@jonathanpickering1457]

I've just watched all your video it is worth repairing if that was mine I will be repairing it

[@wilsonarroyo1362]

I have one similar, excellent product

[@atco21117]

Hi Dan - You've always had really nice small TVs in your collections, but this is one of the best! It sure does yell 1970s doesn't it? It's too bad that the unit doesn't completely work, but I have a few too that don't and just have them on display. People like visiting in my game room because they always find something that remembers them from years ago. Rarely does anyone ask me if it works. I've got a few portable vintage TVs and had thought I'd collect the little units too. But, those units are hard to find and when they show up they are a bit pricey, even for hamfests. So, I'll have to stay happy with my Sony Watchman on display. Guess I can't collect everything (sigh). Thanks for showing the unit to us. See ya -- Atco

[@DanOConnorTech]

Wouldn't it be nice to have all the money and space to collect everything we like, Atco? I have vintage electronics that perform better, but none that look better!

[@toddstewart9070]

That device was made in the month I was born.

[@douglassnoodijk2908]

I have just gotten my hands on one of these , TR 5000A all works , but obviously not the TV....still has its 3 battery tubes ........time to clean it up and sell.

[@bayramoglumurathan925]

Matsushita corp. perfect all times.

[@LakeNipissing]

Electrohome did something very similar to this; maybe a little more elaborate with AIR/PSB bands and LOCAL/DX switch and TV display 180° rotation switch. Kind of the ultimate camping TV/Radio/Cassette unit.

Olá. Este aparelho é interessante TV rádio e gravador cassete vi muito modelo mas não conseguí comprar porque aqui no Brasil era muito caro. Depois lançaram uns modelos de boombox com TV e eu estava desempregado talvez eu encontre nas lojas de aparelhos antigos mas é um tiro no escuro! Abraço e se cuida😷

[@Taketimeout3]

Hook it up to a playstation or VHS player. It will work. And the sleeves, use toilet roll inserts.

[@johnwimbs2157]

I have two of these.not as nice as yours . Didn't come with power cord. But I have several. Haven't tried either yet. Does yours work yet?

[@jonathanpickering1457]

The motor could be seized up I had a cassette recorder which I have just repaired and the Tape Deck didn't work I found at the motor had seized up but the drive belt was ok it is worth checking the motor by turning the shaft of the motor if it does not turn it is seized up and the way to get around it is where the shaft is put some three in one oil down the shaft leave it for about an hour then turn it again by hand it should work ok then

[@Fallibleandflawed]

Why do you think it didn't work with the converter box?? It should have worked

Do you happen to know what type of cassette this uses? is it just audio or can it play video cassettes?

[@DanOConnorTech]

Just audio cassettes

[@fernandoescobar6761]

Que tipo de antena le puedo instalar para tv

[@Nokia-ol2el]

Yea looks like it's from ww2

[@DanOConnorTech]

Looking at it from the front and ignoring the cassette recorder etc, you're right - replace the wood grain with some military gray metal and it would look right at home as a communications piece on a WWII ship of someplace like that.
