Tried to look it up...couldn't find it
...unremarkable ones never get noticed. A lot like people, I guess?
It was a Lloyd's receiver. Couldn't have been no more than three and half inches in depth, about maybe a foot or so wide, and maybe a foot and a half in depth. Enclosed in some sort of wood, mind you,
real wood. They used real wood back then. Only could pick up two local stations, and that was on a good night.
No separate treble/bass knobs. Just the one. The sound
sorta got clearer using it, but there was little in the way of lower sounds.
But it was a power house of at least 7
watts per channel, but I suspect they were meaning "radio" watts,
not RMS. It did come with a two page manual, with details I wouldn't have understood at the time anyways...that appreciation came later. The volume knob always got at least a
3/4 twist. Anymore than that and the speakers would fuzz out... lack of get and go? I suspected this as the speakers (Realistic) were much superior to this receiver...for won't of a better word. As far as weight went, there wasn't any! You had to press down on the top if you turned the knobs or to turn it on to keep it in place.
It did look kinda neat being
so skinny and all, but the thing probably never needed a heat sink due to the low power of the unit. It read
"stereo" on the face plate, but you really had to listen to hear any separation of sound. Not too much later, I got into a separate Sony amp/tuner and was now on my way to being a descriminating user/buyer. After listening to the new set up, I decided that Mickey M had not put out all those tunes I heard on the Lloyds. But hey, that's all I could afford at the time.
Sorry for the details , but thought to share some these memories to the many of having had a starter sound machine and all that came with it.
