The Panasonic Toot-A-Loop - A 1970s Transistor Radio Pop Culture Icon - National Sing-O-Ring

Nothing screams 1970 like the Panasonic Toot-A-Loop. The National Panasonic Sing-A-Ring, as it's known outside the USA, or R72 has become an icon of pop culture, along with its cousins the ball and chain radio and the TNT Dynamite 8-track player. I found this particular one as a nonworking piece on eBay recently and had to have it. It's definitely a pop culture icon!

In this video, we will go through the history and features of this vintage piece of electronic nostalgia, as well as get it working. If you want to skip past the repair section of the video, check out the timestamps below:
