AudioPro TA-150 - should I be interested

[special_20]

I was at an estate sale. Estate had some nice pieces sprinked throughout house (bought a rough pair of Dynaco A25's for reasonable price and saw some OLA's upstairs in rough shape). Among the collection I found a receiver made by Audio Pro model number TA-150. The labeling indicated it was made in sweden. It weighed a lot and looked like a pretty serious piece of kit.

Anybody familiar with the company or the amp (model number TA-150). Is it worth picking up as a curiosity? Hifiengine indicates it was pretty powerful beast from the 80's (100wpc) but I can find next to nothing online...

Hello
I bought one of the same and have not powered it on. I wanted to re-cap it but where do you find the DIN inputs to even test it?

I found the necessary adapters on Amazon. The TA-150 I have is some sort of engineering sample or store display unit. It looks like a prototype on the inside and doesn't match the service manual schematics. I got it working after many hours of fiddling.

It's a great mix of vintage computer and vintage audio. Sounds great to boot! The audio path doesn't go through any mechanical switches or pots.
