I know I can get it half right. The make is Sony.
And, the model is 'boombox'.

I use Photoshop to resize but I think there are free programs on the net that allow you to do that, can't recall program names though but i'm sure a google search will turn something up.

my new toy....
Sony STR-6800 SD... sitting for the moment on my all tube bass rig (8x KT88, 5x 12AX7 & 1x 12AT7) and my little compressor/tuner rack (waiting on a replacement tuner).
I just got it in a trade... The original owners son was looking for a power amp and I had an unused Crown CE1000 (from old bass rig before going tube). I ate the shipping on the Crown in return for him shipping me the Sony
Bummer is I wanted this to use with my old Ohm Walsh 2... I went to get them out of the in-laws basement that is mostly dry and stable.
:tears: their washer burst 2 months ago and I had moved the speakers to right under that spot back when I last almost scored a nice vintage Pioneer. They took water, both high/mid cage is rusty and the wood expanded and blew out the corners top to bottom :tears: completely ruined.
I've bid some temp cheap speakers on eBay till we see if insurance will cover it... I paid a lot of money for them new

My collectionitis is partly healed, I will sell about a half of my collection.
The other half will come into appropriate racks, to be presentable and useable !

My first first first Sony.
Sennheisers donned--I am reveling in the caress of sound outputting from my new Sony 6060F.
It is my first Sony receiver; first receiver Sony made; and first in my large collection that is a first build.
I found it at my local VFW outlet and only made the $25 'move' because it's tank-like build, simplicity, and excellent 9.9 condition showed pomise.
I had no idea that it was Sony's first receiver and only knew Sony as a builder of good/tight BPC (or GPC). I am absolutely floored by the sonic characteristics of this first--and according to general consensus--most outstanding Sony receiver effort.
I have already replaced the dial lamps and will replace the stereo and FM indicators but other than a little heat--she's singing beautifully with awesome separation and I can only imagine how much more impactful this open sound will get with some future servicing (cap repl., etc.).
As a new vintage Sony fan . . I hereby express my thanks to posters here that provided me (unknowingly) with lamp specs and one who provided a service pdf.
Thanks again forum!

Very nice! Too bad we can't get Brian to post a few of his STR-6120. Posted a nudie of my STR-6200F ('69) earlier in this thread. It followed the -6060 ('67) and -6120 ('68) in the line from Sony. Terrific receivers from the pre-reciever-war era. :thmbsp:
