Offering this nice example of one of Radio Shack's Vintage Receivers. all internals have been cleaned and unit was operating for hours to insure reliability.

From the catalog this unit 1971-1972 catalog, this mid power stereo receiver sounds very good. The dial lights have been changed and the unit's AM FM glass dial was removed and cleaned. Includes the pictured walnut veneer cabinet which has a few minor mars and nicks to be expected for a unit of this vintage. Overall, it's in good condition and def clean!. Please inspect all the photos as they are the final description of it's condition. I even polished and cleaned the case.

I have to say that the FM Radio section is quite superior and receives stations, in stereo ( when strong enough) and locks in nicely with only the line cord antenna in my basement. Both meters light and work well. Stereo indicator light works too. AM Radio works. it has a phono input for magnetic cartridges and AUX for a cd player or a bluetooth module (easily available online for $10 and up depending of connection type and quality) also has tape in and monitor.
You can also run two sets of 8ohm speakers by the pair or altogether

face plate and knobs came off and those were also cleaned.

No swollen caps or any issues under the hood. all controls works as they should. Proper Contact cleaning products used for all controls and switches.

this is a very nice Receiver , well made as so much was put together so much better back then.

This is a Japan Made unit by Foster - good stuff.
