Every now and then, I'll run into an item that literally makes my jaw drop, and here's a prime example. While I don't really include the Technics brand with the likes of Marantz, Sansui, Pioneer, and most of the higher quality receivers and components I seek out, they were a very well built and affordable alternative, IMHO. What stunned me on this particular piece is it's condition. What we have here is a 35 year old receiver....that is as close to looking fresh from the box as can be imagined. It has spent it's entire life in a protected environment, barely even getting dusty. Top, sides, back, and bottom...show no marks, scratches, or abrasions. Faceplate is gorgeous, all lamps working, all controls function as they should, and quietly. Sat on it's own shelf, nothing ever stacked on top. Only one mark to be found, the very top right corner looks like something rubbed across it, perhaps, as it appears ever so slightly rounded as compared to the opposite corner. Producing a modest 35 watts @ 8 ohm, it will handle a 4 ohm load. Just an absolutely beautiful vintage receiver that can be proudly displayed in any setting, a real gem.
