Technics Info

[drayhn]

Hello just got into vinyl audio and joined this forum.
Im looking for info on the stereo amp I have.

It is a Technics SE-CA1060, I cant seem to find any info online. There is no year on the stereo so im not really sure how old it is. Any information appreciated!

Best,

Ray

Welcome to AK, Ray. I think the amp you have is part of a midi (mini) system. Do you have any of the other components that this would have been paired with, like a Tuner/Cassette/CDP/EQ?

 

[drayhn]

Yes CD/Tuner/Casette... CD is broken... Im going to hook up a record player to the phono inputs in the back. I just got this and from a friend and have no idea how old this thing is or how well it will perform.

50/60 hz

230 volt 185 watts

These are the numbers on the back of the power amplifier

See the Technics SC-CA1080 system - it is from that. Looks like 1994.

IIRC based on 2X SVI3102 (unfortunately the C version)
Im looking at getting a similar unit and retrofitting it to SVI3102A

3102 is 2x50W - doesnt always mean youll be getting 50W as often the trafo was set to 40W per chan or so (stem on from SU-X101 & SU-X301 etc)

The 230/185 watts pertains to the AC Line Voltage/Power Consumption(?) of the amp. I'm guessing that the WPC on this is somewhere in the range of 50WPC @ 6 Ohms, and probably 30 WPC @ 8 Ohm. I base this solely on my limited knowledge and what I see in the picture below on the meter. I hope someone corrects me if my guess is nowhere close. I'm also guessing that you are not residing in the US.

30wpc could well be accurate at 8 ohm. On the non usa models (europe oceania) divvy up consumption by 5 and it ususlly puts you in the ball park give or take a few watts
