Realistic quality STA-240

[rocdad]

Last week I postedHERE about some AR speakers I bought and ended up with a few other toys from the seller.

One of those was a Realistic STA-240 receiver 60WPC. I had cast it off to the side and promised my wife I would get rid of it. Today I spent some time with it. It is in near new condition. After testing off-set and running for a bit, I found there to be a bit af static from the input control. A good deoxit bath on the switch fixed that.

This receiver sounds really great. Very clean and defined bass. I have had it running for several hours now. I get bass that you can feel in your gut. I am running it along side a 100wpc Sansui. Would I be crazy to say that the bass is of better quality than the Sui? I will have to do more a/b tests and find out. See additional pics.

Now, to hide it.

Hi there. I have the same amp. I wasn't getting anything from phono then it worked after spraying the deoxit it to the housing of the switch and tryig to get some into the hosing of the other end of the switch on the underside of the board. Only problem is it has become intermittent in one or both speakers now. Or just bad sound. Not always but more and more often. Can you direct me on how to clean the input selector switch? Im not familiar with that type. Thank you.
