1421.0. "Any info on the Technics SL-XP6 ?" by VISA::BIJAOUI (Tomorrow Never Knows) Wed Dec 07 1988 08:28

    Hello,
    
    I seriously plan to buy a Technics portable CD player, the SL-XP6.
    
    Has anybody got any info about it ? How much is it in the US ?
    
    Since this player runs only on AA batteries, I may be considering buying 
    it (or having it bought) in the US (I live in France), that's why I need 
    some info on the availability of such player.
    
    
    Thank you for your help,
    Pierre.

1421.1Does Technics sell at all?MQOFS::LEDOUXReserved for Future UseWed Dec 14 1988 13:4425
    Salut, Pierre.
    
    Nobody seems to be willing to answer this note.
    I guess the Technics portable are not as popular as other models.
    The big sellers in U.S. are Sony and Toshiba.  I don't recall ever
    seing a technics SL-XP6 in U.S (I am sure there are, I just never
    noticed).   Anyway If there is, it cannot be more than US$300.00
    witch is the price for the "Top of the line" SONY portable,
    the D-15.  The D-4 normally goes for $200.00, it has the same
    feature but is twice thicker, still quite portable though.
    The Toshiba are a little cheaper in price and in quality, to
    my opinion anyway.   I own a D-15 and a Toshiba XR-P9, the
    quality of the D-15 is very noticeable.  My XR-P9 is getting
    old...
    
    Note the prices above are the "Sale" price. It may vary a little
    depending of the week/where it is bought.

P.S.:
    Pierre, si tu veux plus d'info sur le D-15, laisse moi le
    savoir par VaxMail.  Je me ferai un plaisir de te les passer.

    Bien le bonjour!
    
    Vincent.

    I'm not sure, but I think Service Merchandice sells the Technics
    protable.

    Don't bother. I got it now. I paid the full price in France, but it's
    just simply GREAT !
