jonas miller receiver?

[madwing]

i know jonas miller was a high-end audio seller back in the day down in la, but does anyone know about this? it's branded jonas miller. looks early sansuish, and i don't know for sure it's solid state (could be late tubes, but it's with a later garrard and a solid state rtr).

Looks just like a Pioneer I once found, which was early SS

looks pioneerish to me as well!

I would agree for the Pioneer. Would be nice to get bigger pics, also from the back.

From (shaky) memory, Jonas Miller went on to form speaker maker Miller and Kreisel. His original stereo store was in Beverly Hills. Sadly, M&K ceased operations within the last couple of years.

Definitely tubes.

Looks more like the Martel FAX-200. Not the C version, though. Just the regular 200.

yes, that's it, rod (or, as i originally thought to say, "yes! ya dayam, skippy!", for some really odd reason).

well spotted. thanks, that was killing my curiosity.

Yep, I went home and checked. 6BM8 tubes. Probably 10-14 watts per channel. Has cathode bias (I think). I beleive a 90 watt power consumption. Built by Roland in Japan.

Don't pay more than 30-50 bucks if it isn't working, and not more than 75 if it does, and certainly not more than 150-200 if it's been restored. It's not the complicated inside.

I've tried to fix a 200 and 200C and they still didn't work. I think they're bad for taking out OPTs, but that could just be [bad] luck of the draw on my part.
