All-In-One stereos were huge in the 70s. Everyone made them including Realistic, Sony, Toshiba, Sanyo, Panasonic, Craig, Sharp, Sears, and of course, Soundesign.

The price is right. Even I have a Soundesign receiver. Blue lights, lot's of knobs, STK module inside.
I have it on display. It's the bottom one.View attachment 775312

I've been trying to find an image of my first stereo, a Soundesign. Mine looked similar but had an 8 track. Slider controls on the bottom, push buttons and up down switches. It had 2 blue kind of meter things that lit up and pulsated with the sound of the music. I sure would like to see that thing again. The speakers were ribbed..
 
16626905830041576045189998723231.jpg Regardless of the price tag or worth it is still a decent sounding system with 30wpc, I have had mine for what seems like a millenium. It does not have the phono built in but has room for one and cd or tape jack. Will handle a guitar, or mic, not marshall but it can do it. 8 track works great still, which comes in handy when checking 8 track tapes. It has and will be my equipment and media testing unit in the shop. After opening it up to check it over the thing had no or very little dust on the inside. A lil DeOxit just to tune it up, and it plays nice with great radio signal, and did I mention the 8 track works great. Plus it has a cool blue lighted front. Not everyone can afford Marantz or Pioneer. Enjoy it!

You'll be hard pressed to find much info on this - they were lower end systems and I'm guessing not cost effective to get repaired.
Play it, enjoy it for what it is.
Enjoy the music

With soldered tracers it is a bit more difficult but can be done. The Kenwood TK 88 I have is the same way. Have to be very careful with that heat.
