The RM706W was basically a show piece, and was an RM706 encased in a Tamo ash wood housing. Too nice to use. I've only ever seen one W, and they were unavailable from Sony even in the early 80s.

Is there a name plackard on the cabinet next to the power button? Sony mailed a 24k gold plackard to the buyer of those, with their name engraved on it.
