Can anyone make out what model this receiver and cassette deck are? It says high fidelity in ad but i'm not sure. I can't find the exact ones on google or anywhere else. It's a crappy pic I know, Thanks for any help in advance!!

Well, I just found the deck, its a SHARP RT-3388A. It is listed as a Philips, along with the receiver. I've found similar receivers but not this exact one. I can see from the pic that it is a Philips so that narrows it down a bit!
 
Interesting pieces. The Philips 'hi fidelity' stuff was pretty good - I had one of the reel to reel decks from that line. Good luck if you purchase.
 
The cassette deck is the Sharp/Optonica 'computer controlled cassette deck' -- boasting something akin to random access; (one of the) first of its kind.

The receiver I am less sure about; I have some Philips literature but only for one model line.
This is (these are)... close...? Maybe one of these two models(?). By this point, there was some merger/overlap of Philips hifi components and Magnavox hifi components, I think.
