[AT-15_Vegas]

hey just got a realistic sta-111, wondering if anyone has any specs on this,

30 wpc. Introduced in 1981. Advertised as "System Eleven ... equalized for enhanced bass from mini-speakers." Seems to have been targeted for use with Minimus speakers, much like the STA-7 ("System Seven") did a few years earlier.

It made the cover of the 1982 catalog with full info on page 7:

Know where I can get mine fixed?

I bought one from an out of state Goodwill through Ebay. Only problem is the FM Stereo is messed up. I tried a local shop but they declined to work on it because of the digital tuner. The amp section appears to be OK. Any recommendations?

There is a sticky on AK on how to clean tuners. If that don't work you might want to send a PM to AK member Punker X. He works on tuners and he might help you out.

I have one of these also and I am trying to connect an FM antenna to it, what do I connect the two wires to??? Thanks

It looks like the connectors are on the far left, looking at the back.
They are the black plastic nuts, 3 in a row.
Try using the right-most 2 of the 3.

Note that I am assuming that you are using a dipole antenna, a flat wire with 2 leads.
If you are using coaxial wire (like the cable connector) then you use the 75-ohm connector to the right of the 3 black plastic nuts.
