You know I love her @MicroMara  and if I love her I know Fee Waybill would too!  She's a beauty George! 

 

 

Yea, you know I'm wiping drool!

Little ol' Mc MA6200. Second system with a rare Pioneer Elite PD 93 CD player - 

[henry4841]

Brought back to life. A Sherwood S-7300 with complete electrolytic capacitors changed along with the transistors on the amplifier boards. This one had multiple problems but it was too nice not to refurbish.

Change of pace from all the high rent district stuff you lucky guys have been posting. A lowly Realistic receiver from back when they had good stuff made. (actually a MOSFET design). A snake oil salesman conned me into buying this. Dont regret it at all. It also heats the room up nicely on cold winter nights. @Woofers and TweetersFits in well in my manloft.

From all that I have heard Realistic made some really good receivers back in the day. Enjoy.

In the 70s they were Pioneers in Radio Shack clothing

Glad it's keeping you warm. After paying for the gas because you conned me into bringing it to you, then, having me over a barrel, raking me across the coals on the price, my date and I were able to afford to share a breakfast sandwich. 

 

I will try to be there to buy it back, before next winter.

 

My largest regret of that trip is not buying Matthew's Cherry Chorus.

Rumor was they were made in the same factory 

Really is a nice unit. I might put a Pioneer sticker over the Realistic. (yes, I am that superficial)

Word was you were in town visiting you daughter any way. All the cash was gravy. And you stole a license plate off our parking lot while there too.

I thinks @Shaun K ended up with those Chorus.

Stole? Lol

Your selective senility is showing. 

 

Actually, I was on a mission to do several things on that trip.  Transporting the part that you made to Matthews was just more icing.  I ended up buying an amp and a CD player from him while I was there.

I have seller's remorse on some things, those Chorus I have passed up deal remorse. If I wasn't 3 states away in a car already packed for two on vacation,  I would have grabbed them.

I had the STA2080 and a STA2300, both sounded great.

 

As Mookie said, the 2080 is a heater, too.

I remember when you could walk in to Radio Shack and buy these.

Yup, still have them here.  Not currently in use, been thinking of selling them...but I just picked up a nice Denon amp so I want to hear them again before I make any rash decisions

I used to have that exact same HK amp and pre-amp combo (actually had two of the amps) -- bought them new.  They were part of my very first "good" stereo system I owned.

Jeff Rowland Model 5 -- the photo below isn't mine, but is identical to the amp I used to own.  It's probably been at least 20 years since I sold it and didn't have any photos.  It's 100 pounds of clean solid-state power!
