Thrusters

Is there something special about the turbo models? Why would anyone pay almost $200 for $5 speakers. Are they collectible now? He is even paying for expedited shipping. I guess he can't wait to get them.
Noaf.

I’m sure for some they may hold some sort of sentimental value.
When was a kid I would’ve loved to have had a pair.

Don't see a list of bids, must have been BIN?
Someone with some extra money buying something from their youth.
Look to be in very nice condition other than the stains on the woofer cones.

I love that you can see the baffle through whatever that construction below the tweeter is. They just phoned this one in, didn't they?

Back in the 70's I met Mark Levinson at the Palmer House hotel in downtown Chicago. He was demoing his fabulous sounding HQD (Hartley Quad Decca) speaker system in one of the larger suites. The only other speakers present were - you guessed it - Panasonic Thrusters! They were part of the room system and Mark wasn't interested in doing any A/B comparisons so I can't tell you what I think of the sound.
