The entry level to a GOOD receiver way back when.15 Watts per channel, AM, FM, Phono, Aux, Muting, Hi Filter, Tape Monitor, Loudness, Main or Remote Speakers or Both, Phono Jack on the FRONT This relic...errrr....classic sat on a shelf at a Bud's house for years until I liberated it 5 or 6 years ago. The Bud smoked 4 packs a day and I spent nearly a day with alcohol and Q-tips getting the stink off. With your nose right on the metal there is a still a whiff of "LSMFT" (ask yer dad) but not really noticeable right in front of me (I don't smoke) at my desk. I also cleaned the controls and replaced all the dead lamps, five I think. It appears that one gave up it's life in the meantime; the repalcements, at the link or from E-Bay are cheap and easy to install. The case is decent, some scuffs, no real scratches. There are discolorations nearest the most used controls as you would expect. I'm giving it a 7 'cause of how well it works but cosmetically it's more of a 6. Everything works as new and there's not even any aged capacitor hum. It also pulls in stations, well, strong ones, like a Banshee without an antenna. (Like 2 Banshees with) You believe these go for 150, even 200 bucks? Paypal me $100 (goes in my Mt. Bike Fund) and shipping and it's your dream-link to past glories.
