Should be able to get one since it's not 100 watts75 I think. 20wpc.
My school room mate had Optimus 5 speakers. I remember them as really good. Nobody called him out with his speakers.Here is my garage setup. I also have a ST-82 20wpc sitting on a shelf waiting for a recap from the same line of equipment.

Speaking of Radio Shack, ran across this Realistic branded LP while listening tonight. Interesting "Direct to Disc" concept. RS had some interesting ideas over the years that didn't quite catch on. This LP just screams Radio Shack. They tout all of this high tech extravagance on the jacket and then press it in what has to be the thinnest possible vinyl I have EVER run across in my collection.

Is it really floppy? During the oil crises in the 70's a different formula was tried. They were thin and floppy and we're passed off as being better sounding and longer lasting than the standard record.View attachment 1130696

Thank you. I would be happy with the STA-180. I added it to the list.Add the STA-960-50w-1980? Newer version of the beautiful STA-95.
STA-180-60w-1972-$600. Semi rare and heavy duty.
I put a clean 780 on cl last week for $300 and was a little surprised today when someone scheduled a pickup for friday. Good unit for sure.I liked the Optimus speaker line. The 1B's sound good and with a few crossover tweeks, even better. RS did have some nice receivers in the 70's. I just never got into receivers for whatever reason. I only own two. The ST82 that came free with the 2B speakers, and a very nice Pioneer SX 780 I found at Goodwill for $13 The 780 will get recapped along with recomended updates and go to my youngest son. The ST-82 I planned on recapping and passing on to someone.
Thank you. I would be happy with the STA-180. I added it to the list.
Because it said Realistic. Who new? I don't have my hopes up for finding one.I had one for a week. Why the heck did I flip it?
I had that tt.Not at all. I respect the Realistic brand. I have had Mach Ones, Nova 10, Move 8b, Sta-95, Sts-2000d...etc.
And in my setup....
