For Sale: Rare High End SQ Tube Head Unit- Panasonic Bottlehead (CQ-TX5500W)

Just as the title states- I have a Panni bottlehead in great condition with a new Panasonic harness. Very rare SQ head unit. If you are an audiophile- you already know what this is. If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing a tube- you are missing out. If it sells for my asking price I will also include a new Metra or Scosche (can't remember which I bought) dash kit as well as the install harness.

I waited a while to find one of these in perfect shape. I purchased it to go in the Mercedes then found a great deal on some engine parts for my Focus track car that I can't really pass up.

Asking/Offering Price - $585 shipped/insured/double boxed
Email Address - bumpnzx3@hotmail.com
Location - In Illinois, right near St. Louis, Missouri

I will take actual pictures of the unit when I get home from the office this evening.

It's hard to get pictures of this unit- the flash keeps causing a glare. I will try to take more this afternoon in natural light.





Make an offer. I'd like to move this pretty quick.

This is the "W" (worldwide) unit not the "D" (JDM) unit- so it will tune into all US stations.
