Show us your Realistic (Radio Shack) stuff

I just found this in the trash at work. Seems to work fine. Not sure what I’ll do with it though. My DMM does the job well enough.

I really dig the looks of the 2080 over the 2000, 4 big meters front & center and how the numbers are illuminated through the back, looks awesome! Triple tone control is always a plus too. But beggars can't be choosers.

Sta2000 are a fine rig ! Always got room for one of those !

Hey everyone

I got this Realistic 300 stereo from Radio Shack restored. I cant find any information on it. Can anyone fill me in on details? I'm curious.

It looks like I never posted about the T-120s that I picked up in October. I gave them new caps and foam surrounds for the mids and woofers. These are terrific speakers, even though they're not acoustic suspension as mentioned in the catalog.

I think I've posted about my SA-2000 integrated amp and LAB-300 turntable in the past, but this post is more about the lighted Realistic sign that I picked up from eBay. The seller has similar signs from lots of legacy brands in stock, but they can make custom designs, too. I have no affiliation, other than being a customer.

If you hang them from the ceiling in a bar, are they acoustic suspended?

I had bought the SA-1000 new back when I was in high school. I still have the matching TM-1000 tuner. And it still works great.
Those simple belt driven LAB-300 turntables are acually decent decks. I keep an eay out for one locally.
I bought a LAB-400 a couple years ago for my son. After giving it a listen I didn't want to let it go.

my sta-2080 is a tank that always runs and always sounds great
Only thing I’ve ever had to repair is light bulbs
