Technics Concise Reference Archive – C01, C03, C04 and related equipment

That Technics SA800 is a serious piece of equipment. That would be the kind of component that if I owned in my younger years I’d love to get back, nostalgia can be quite the powerful force.

I do miss it sometimes especially the manual tuner even though I don't listen to the radio over the air. The LED power meters are another thing I miss.
Truth be told, at that point in my life my main concerns were "cool" and "loud' and the SA800 certainly fit the bill.
After the SA800, I went with separate components and never looked back.
 
Awesome page! I love the Consice/micro series Technics devices :)
I personally have C01 (Tuner/Amp/Preamp), C03 (Tuner/Amp), C04 (Tuner/Amp), and M02 and M04, along with SB-F2 and a couple SB-F1MK2 speakers. I'm still missing a couple decks (M07, M03[rather unknown]), the C02 devices (SA-C02), a C01 Amp with external SH-C01, the SH-C02, the original F1s and actively looking for F3s.

My 2 cents, I uploaded to eletrotanya the SE-C01 Service manual for the version without the external SH-C01 :) just in case you want to upload it to your page.

Thank you, I’m glad you liked the website. I have been adding quite a bit lately as I purchased a bunch of literature in the form of brochures, catalogues, flyers and advertisements from Japan. So I’m slowly scanning those and adding them to the website.

Thanks very much for mentioning the SE-C01 service manual that you uploaded as I did indeed need that one and so I added it to the website, much appreciated.

Wow, you sure are quite the Concise enthusiast. I would love to own everything in the entire range, but my wallet only stretches so far. A recent acquisition that I did make was a nice SH-C02 which is something I have been wanting to get for quite some time. Do you have any photos of all of your gear? Is it all set up nicely where you can use all of it at any given time?
 
It must be Karma, this thread is full of mini-system ads, the first one is for the Concise! but there's many more in there, I'd google search the whole forum.

I kind of like this one with a mashup of Panasonic/Technics/National and the car is kind of cool.

Uhh nice! the SH-C02 would be a lovely addition. I'm still missing the SH-C01 though haha with a matching SE-C01.

Sure! I use most of the devices, or at least I try to haha, in my office I have a SU-C04 hooked up to a pair of Polk bookshelfs, a SU-C03 to a pair of SB-F2, and the SE/SU-C01 to another couple SB-F2, and a ST-C01 for when I want to hear to some radio. Here's a pic:
New photo · Sunday, Apr 5 (ended up taking the speakers off the shelf since they sounded horrible up there).

Then I do have a SU-C04, 2 ST-C03, ST-C01, SE-C01 and RS-M04 in "storage".
I have a SL-DL5 also in storage but not micro/concise.

My dad has a SU-C04/ST-C04/RS-M04 combo along with a couple SB-F1 MK2 (no pic here though, but I do have a picture with all 3 SU-C04 after being recapped and some noisy transistors changed and a picture of the combo he got when I finished restoring it)

Top to bottom it's SL-DL5, SH-8025, ST-S3, SU-V9, ST-Z1 (not really using it), SU-V5.
Speakers are SB-K915 but honestly I use the Klipsch ones more.
