Sony STR-7025 receiver?

[riverrat]

Saw one for sale locally, but didn't turn up much info on this receiver via a google search.

Can anyone fill me in on how the STR-7025 fits into Sony's early receiver line?

What year(s) was it offered? How much power? Any other pertinent details?

Thanks in advance for all replies..

I got an STR-7055 for my folks as a gift. My pops would turn it on every day according to my mom right when he woke up and wouldn't go off until bed time. They both were about to cry when the tuner string jumped the pulleys and the dial lights went out. I loaned them an Akai receiver until I can open it and figure it out. I would say the sound is romantic and warm. I would guess through the whole line. A lowered power unit you are looking at but worth a look.

Hello riverrat,

Nice looking receiver you picked up there. It looks like it was in production from 76 to 81 and rated at 18 watts.

Sony STR-7015 - 15 watts
Sony STR-7025 - 18 watts
Sony STR-7035 - 24 watts
Sony STR-7045 - 30 watts
Sony STR-7055 - 35 watts
Sony STR-7065 - 60 watts

Regards,
TB

I sold that whole line of receivers and they were built like tanks, sounded great, and as Statesolid indicated, they were much like the Energizer Bunny....just going and going. Very few came back for warranty work.

The biggest problem was that Sony's styling didn't compete with the eye candy-likes of the Pioneer, Sansui, and Marantz gear it was up against so you had to lead a potential customer to them.

Cheers,

David

Help My Sony STR-7035

In 1978 my father and I went down to my uncle's Hi-Fi stereo shop and picked out the Sony STR 7035 with a pair of Realistic Optimus 5-B loud speakers. Well recently he willed them to me.
PROBLEM: The left channel has barely any output. The right side works fine. What should I do?

The first thing I would do is give it a Deoxit bath, if you haven't. There are threads here about how to do that. Others here may have advice for you as well... Those old Sony receivers are very nice. Hopefully you'll get it going.
