One landed on my bench many moons ago. Can't remember the model but it was Philips electronics mated to a version of the Panasonic G deck.

Thanks both of you, I'm after one, novelty value. Not much use now as we have no analogue, and I remember the hand held casios of the day, abysmal.

I think you'll find it has the Philips variant Panasonic 'G' deck not Charley. I may be wrong....it is many years since I saw one.


Just did a Google search.....it's a Panasonic G deck....the Philips variant at any rate. The main cam is different to the normal Pan G deck.....guess how I found out....!

Found this image of the deck.

If you buy one off eBay, beware that the continental version will have 5.5mhz sound. That might be important if you are using a UK modulator (unless it's switchable of course).

I am looking at one for a friend - the one without the monitor. It needs gears which I have most of, but although servicing countless Panasonic G-decks back in the day, I remember failing on Philips G2-decks - the always seemed to lose timing, generally catastrophically. Is this because of the different gear? What were they thinking of? And can I get one?

/05 will be the UK version. /39 is the French version which might have UK sound as well, should check that in the service manual.
