    Realistic LAB-430 & 440 Cartridges and Styli

    Greetings all. I have both a Realistic LAB-430 (that I inherited from my father when he passed away 20 years ago), and a 440 that my aunt gave to me. I've been wanting to get these units working again; I remember playing a record on both of them to see what they sounded like. They both appear to...

    Old Radioshack 'PA' active speaker - any info?

    Just picked up an old Radioshack PA60 for loose change but can't find ANY info about it on the internet. Any ideas or insights? Will it do as a home monitor for an edrum kit? The frequency range seems to say yes but I have no idea how big the woofer is, etc. Huge thanks for any info.

    Realistic STA78 Fuse Wing Fix

    Good news! I stumbled upon a Realistic STA78 at the local GoodWill and nabbed it for a steal. About a week later found some Marantz Imperial 6s at the same exact place. Figured this could possibly make a great little system. Now for the bad...It has loud static out of the left channel. Before...

    JBL 216 with RadioShack/Realistic woofers?

    I got a pair of used JBL 216 bookshelf speakers that looked to be in really good shape. One woofer wasn't working when I first connected everything, so I pulled it apart to measure the coil's resistance. When I pulled the woofer out I saw that it was made by Realistic. I didn't expect to see...

    Another thread about Realistic Nova 7B

    Hi, long time viewer, first time member. Ive seen a lot of threads on the Realistic 7B but still left with questions. I scored a Nova 7B from a guy who bought them, according to him, in 78' when he worked at RadioShack. He claimed to have used them very few times and then retired them somewhere...

    Realistic Minimus 0.5. How do they sound?

    I have a pair of these coming in the mail. All I know is that they were made sometime in the 70's and have a single 3.5 inch full-range driver. But how's the sound quality? Has anyone here listened to a pair before? Some background info: I bought them to replace a pair of Minimus 7's I'm using...

    Meters without McIntosh

    Realistic APM-200 by MetalDaze posted Jul 27, 2017 at 7:53 AMAfter failing to find a McIntosh MPM 4000 (Or Amp for that matter) that was for sale- let alone in my price range. I thought my quest for VU meters connected to my amplifier would come without resolution. Then I found the Realistic...

    Upgrading a pair of realistic nova 15s

    I picked up a pair of nova 15s at a goodwill for $1.99 since they had foam rot... I found the foam for $8 to do the pair, but also heard they could probably use a crossover upgrade, without spending a ton of money on fancy caps... Can i just use standard nichicon caps or will that have a adverse...
