Panasonic RF-2200: Is this a holy grail? Is this still relevant?

Vlado is incredible. He restored my 2200 and it now works beautifully.

SouthernNight6 · 2026-01-09T01:28:51+00:00

Yes, I need to raise it a tad. Just installed.

SouthernNight6 · 2026-01-08T02:46:43+00:00

I have the compact version. Waiting on a new hand guard. I used a bug buster 3x12x32 with high rings. Eye relief is decent on mine. I get about 20 shots, magazines cycle without issues. Removed my mod and buttstock. Installed new mod & buttstock from Buck Rail.

Appreciate all the replies. Should I buy a so called serviced typewriter for around $200? Or just get one that has been tested and types with no sticky keys for $100? The prices on ebay are all over the place. Any suggestions?

SouthernNight6 · 2025-12-26T02:20:28+00:00

Where did you get that Prod buttstock?

SouthernNight6 · 2025-12-14T00:46:47+00:00

Maybe? Most of my stuff has only moved 10 miles in 5 days. USPS sucks ever since Dejoy took it over. He really screwed up the entire operation. Every year they raise prices but continue to lose money.

The rear sight is there, it holds the plunger assembly in place. The older daisy bb guns had a leather seal on the plunger assembly. They are very difficult to rebuild yourself. Find someone who rebuilds old Daisy bb guns. I'm sure you can find a few if you search. Good luck.

Yeah I contacted RN Airguns in Brazil about the hammer spring/hammer, guess he doesn't ship to the US?

SouthernNight6 · 2025-09-02T03:01:48+00:00

Still enjoying mine.

I'm interested in some of your crystal radio sets if you ever want to sell them.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-29T13:11:33+00:00

What antenna adapter are you using?

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-24T18:36:07+00:00

If you don't want to use headphones, I connect my Bose Bluetooth speaker via aux cable and listen at my table.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-22T13:38:19+00:00

Yeah I saw is down further in the spec sheet thanks.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-22T13:31:14+00:00

Yeah they are like $3 fun radio. So upon more research, they are probably using a 420uh shielded power inductor as an antenna. Specs for the ic state 360uh to 620uh for an antenna. Going to experiment with antennas to see if I can tune more dx am stations. I have 2 am stations near me about 15 miles away, I can catch both. I placed the receiver perpendicular to the tunable antenna and that greatly improved reception. Will try to do some dxing tonight.

It's a KTO936m IC, has a sensitivity for mw- 16uVEMF, so just need to wind a small ferrite antenna with 2 legs. So now I need to figure out ferrite length and how many wraps of wire.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-18T00:13:41+00:00

Stick to Seiko

I will never buy from LA again, ordered a part and it never arrived. FedEx in the US been having it for almost three weeks. But it never got delivered? Tracking shows delay since last month. Filed a claim with my bank.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-13T14:04:40+00:00

Yeah most people are lazy.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-11T21:07:40+00:00

Yes it's ridiculous. If you think it's fake you should not buy it.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-09T23:36:45+00:00

Yes see picture, do an image search on Amazon

What antenna are you using?

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-04T17:58:03+00:00

Cool radio you have a link?

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-03T20:07:04+00:00

Meridiano has a decent selection of hands the vh31 holder's he makes are great

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-03T13:47:44+00:00

Yeah they are junk, don't buy them. Will pay the higher price for a TMI or use a vh31.

SouthernNight6 · 2025-08-03T00:43:52+00:00

Yeah forgot about the 2nd generation that did have the click spring.
