I've seen a few of those silver tv's come up on ebay now and then, Matsushita's designs were often as revolutionary as it's management practices ;] for those who don't get the hit, ie: very lol |

Ah yes, the pandora..thats seen in that brochure ;p heh, Panasonic's TV names in the 70s were a bit odd...the pandora, the orbitel (easy to guess what that was :P) and the wilmington.. |

Model names are always fascinating to me. My house was built in 1961, we are the only family to ever live here. It was built by Mackle Brothers, for General Developement. Anyhow, this house model name is fhe "Tampico" Orbitel is of course the little spaceship TV. I will try to post scans of my little Panasonic booklet vacuum cleaners, I am fighting keeping several curious cats out of the room the booklets are hidden in.

More Panasonic fans! I've never seen any of the small appliances or older vacs, but I have a beautiful clock radio with the digital "leaves" readout that I love. A friend here in town gave it to me and it keeps perfect time. I'd love to see one of those announcing clock radios sometime - how fun. My brother in law who is blind would like that one too! Thanks for posting the brochure - very interesting. |

Oh god the toot a loop, I love the scope of Panasonic's older products..alas much like VW, Honda, Hoover etc..they've followed with convention.. I HATE how every damn product looks the same nowerdays. |

Sanyo put out some great products for the home as well and they were usually less expensive but well made. Their stuff never had the "cachet" though. |

I had a Panapet when I was younger! That was the greatest radio ever! Mine was that lovely yellow color. Man, I miss a lot of stuff from the 70's. :-( |

I have not shelled out for a proper camera as of yet, and I can't figure how to transmit scans yet, either. I know you're not picking, but I am anxious to be a part of the visual aspect of this site, and am subjecting you all to half-a__ed images. Money is tight. Oh, and I guess you noticed it is not a Jetflo.

a Panasonic blender before, but I remember those ball radio's, and the upright Vacuum in the brochure was also sold by Eureka as the Emperor upright. |

Thanks for posting that Tom
From what i have read on vacland the Emporor was made for Eureka by panasonic. The two machines are so similar but the major difference is the motor setup. From a pic i saw on a thread here the Eureka has a vertically mounted motor were as the panasonic has its own style motor mounted horrizontely as seen in the above pics. |

The Emperor motor sits horizontal, and has a belt changing tool. The metal fan is awesome, moves a ton of air.
