panasonic: RQ-309S (RQ309S); Cassette Tape Recorder

Herr Scheida has an incorrect picture on his listing for this model.  He has a picture of a model RQ-209 (1971-72) instead of an RQ-309.  I have uploaded some pictures from an eBay listing of the correct model. Attachments:

...I might be mistaken after all in saying Herr Scheida posted an incorrect model.  I got 'thrown off' by the white and blue function keys in his picture; those were found in the US on the RQ-209 model.  The RQ-209, however, did not have a built-in condenser mic.  The additional pictures I have posted are of a typical US-model RQ-309.  I will add the RQ-209 to the model list; one will easily be able to see where the confusion came from.  My apologies to Herr Scheida and all of RM.

Dear Mr. Stackhouse, at RM.org we try to upload every individual type version of a unit.

I.e. RQ-309S seems to be the european version

RQ-309AS seems to be the asian or australien version with enhanced mains voltage

At your recorder you see also an add. suffix at the end of the type probably "OS" for the US version.

It would be very nice if you will upload your model as a new version together with good pictures which includes the exactly type number. (maybe inside of the batt. box)

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards Scheida www.scheida.at/scheida/televisionen.htm
