Classic Vintage Stereo Receivers
Receivers
are actually composed of 3 components: A tuner section, a Pre-amplifer section and a power amplifer section. In other words: a receiver is an integrated amplifer with a tuner.
For selecting a receiver one might consider: how many inputs are needed, is a turntable input needed, how much output power and many pairs of speaekrs to be connected to it? How important is radio listening: AM and FM.
Vintage analog reciever are quite a different experience form modern digital equipment in touch and feel, but also in terms of sound.

In the 70's and earlier the "stereo" was one of the main attractions in the living room and nothing was spared to make the finest equipment with the goal to provide the best sound quality and ultimate listening experience. The more fidelty to the origiunal recording the better. Today's AV receivers are primarily the sound system for video sound. The goal: to provide audio for the visyual effects and so surround sound aimes to add audio effects to sound to furhter enhance the experience, which technically speaking is based on time delay between channels and reverberation - or in other words: something is added to sound that was not there before - which is the opposite of "fidelity"! Modern equipment is bsed on digital circuitry to switch and proces the audio signal. The lenghtens the audio's signal path, further taking away form fidelity. The result: an experience that first impresses with it's effects, but tires the listener out after the innitial excitement has passed. I hear the cry from many: "I want my old turntable, reciever and speakers back" Sound was remebered as warm, natural, inspiring. This was because: sound was pure, signal paths were short, and all circuitry used was analog. With this page I hope to bring your old tyme audio equipment back.

More Vintage Hi-FI Stereo Receivers:
These Receivers will be refurbished to order (Currently: in "As Found" condition):
2-7 Weeks Lead Time - Price Range: Fully restorred typically: $250-$850. The goal with my work: to bring these receivers back to fully working condition. This takes hours and hours and HOURS of paistaking detail orineted work. Thus prices based on the amount of time and parts needed (some are quite hard to find! - which again takes time!) to achieve this goal. Shop time to refurbish equipment to order (applies to ALL units shown in this section!) is in SHORT SUPPLY, so I may not be able to serve you very quickly, especially during late fall, winter and the first two months of the of the new year. Rushing it and vintage audio equipment, or pushing for "discount prices" DO NOT GO TOGETHER! It takes as much time as it takes. If needing to rush: Please buy "AS-IS".
Inquire for Details and larger Images --> Please refer to item nubers and type of unit listed in picture ! EXAMPLE: "Stereo Receiver # 63 " .
Excuse the photos: they show the items as found and with defects. When refubished these items will look as close as possible like new and as good as other equipment listed on my site.
