This is a clean, well-preserved example that’s been tested and is in excellent cosmetic condition for its age. Original telescoping antenna (extends and retracts smoothly). Original battery compartment door. Includes a compatible AC power cord (not the original Panasonic cord). Overall cosmetic condition is excellent with only light signs of normal use. The battery compartment was professionally cleaned after very minor battery corrosion from years ago. There are a few tiny cosmetic traces of oxidation visible in a couple of areas, but there is no active corrosion, and the battery compartment is clean and fully usable. The handle, speaker grilles, knobs, switches, tuning dial, and cabinet are all in very nice condition. Powers on properly. Cassette player operates correctly. RCA/AUX input plays loud and clear through both speakers. Please Note: The radio tuner receives stations, but the radio audio is noticeably lower in volume than the cassette player or AUX input. The amplifier and speakers perform well through the cassette and AUX functions. The radio section may benefit from cleaning, adjustment, or servicing, but no repairs have been attempted. Compatible AC power cord (non-original). This is a great example for a vintage audio collector, display piece, or someone looking for a quality Japanese-made Panasonic boombox from the early 1980s. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. The unit will be packed with care to ensure it arrives safely.

As seen from the main photo, it powers on fine. Sometimes, it is temperamental when switching back and forth between the two. But I have always gotten it to work by switching back to one and then the other. The sound is great – tone, balance, and volume controls are in good working condition. Cassette player is in great working condition – please see photos where you can see. The counter has moved. I was not able to test the cassette recorder because I don’t have a blank cassette tape. I have not tested anything else. As you can see, it does have some issues. Antenna is separated at the base. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me. Please use the photos for the exact cosmetic condition. The item “Vintage Panasonic Boombox RX-5090 AM/FM Stereo Radio/Cassette Recorder” is in sale since Friday, September 10, 2021.
