SL-P10 The long (long) time spent on pre-production units gave way to the SQ-CD10 which was planned to be released until... changes... the SL-P10 finally made its appearance. Slightly smaller than the CD10, the P10 nevertheless is a magnificent beast which however looks much more inviting in its "S" version (S for Silver), the latter being unfortunately even more rare than the original brownish version. The SL-P10S remains one of the better designed CD players... then and now. Far from the Hitachi clones, the mechanism is 100% Matsushita and even the laser pickup itself is, unlike others who made their own mechanisms but bought OEM lasers from Sharp (Denon for instance). As all 1st gen' CD players, the P10 is built amazingly well, although in a pronounced "messy" way : the format wasn't that new in '83 but the players surely were the very first :) Luckily
for you, I have found a september 1983 review of the SL-P10 - click
