Panasonic Panapet & Toot a loop.
Are the 1970s Panasonic "Toot A Loop" R72 and the round "Panapet" R70 being manufactured at present? A quick Google will reveal many of these sets for sale mostly from the USA. I know many of these sets would have been made but then lots of other models Panasonic 47A for example would have been made but they are not coming on to the market like the R70 and R72.

Re: Panasonic Panapet & Toot a loop.
The Toot A Loop is a remarkable design of the 70´s.
It´s a collectors item nowandays. So they are much in demand. Particular the green and orange ones. Google for ¨Toot a Loop¨ and ¨museum¨ Try the same for the the other Panasonic models. I´ll bet that not many other Panasonic models can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Jard N. |

Re: Panasonic Panapet & Toot a loop.
My Sister had a blue Panapet in the seventies. I wish I had kept hold of it. Strangely the box survives to this day but alas no radio to go with it. It was a weird round thing that swung about on a carrying chain if I remember correctly.

Re: Panasonic Panapet & Toot a loop.
Biggles,
The box is worth money, an avid collector will pay good money for it (as long as it's in good condition). The same goes for Dinky toys boxes, and for me, I pay good money for cassette recorder boxes. I've just paid £22 for an empty Philips EL3302 cassette recorder box!

Re: Panasonic Panapet & Toot a loop.
Hi CamTechMan I did think that the box may be useful to someone out there. I suppose I live in hope of the original radio turning up in my sister's loft one day. I once remember seeing a pristine box for an Ever Ready Sky Emperor by chance in a house we went to view. I had a crafty peep in the box but unfortunately it was empty. My distraction was brought to a stop as I was reminded by my wife that we had come to look at the house and not "go through rubbish". I wonder what else was in that house as it had been untouched for what looked like half a century at least.
