I've never paid much attention to Technics. However looking over this thread, there's some definitely impressive looking equipment here.....
 
Technics sl-1600

Dont know why some people have a problem with Technics. The reality is many companys made low end junk and at one time produced really good stuff. Remember ''Carver'' being sold at Electric ave in Wards before they went down? I have owned several Technics products and with good results. My Sl-1600 mk-II is still spinning records without a problem.

I don't know the model number or specs. But I know for sure it's a THX 5.1 reciever.

Gotta be Japan or Europe exclusive..... I never saw one like it in the states, nor have I seen one ever come up on the auction block. Looks like a 5.1 THX HT receiver paying homage to the SE-A900S amp....
 
I just picked up an SA-505 from a friend who was gonna leave it at the curb this week. He's not sure what's wrong with it, but said I could have it. Specs say 63 wpc, good THD (0.04%). Anyone have any experience with this one? Worth tearing apart and trying to fix?

You think Technics are bad for being bashed? Some boards you mention Radio Shack, Realistic, or Optimus and you might as well tuck your head between your legs and kiss your butt goodbye!

Another reason to like AK. Logic seems to reign greater than brand loyalty or disloyalty.....with exception to Nuance and Thrusters! :D :D

Sa-800

I have one and it is a quite impressive receiver it brought my Pioneer CS-88's to life.
The real issue is trying to find a service manual for I have been trying
to hunt one done for 4 days at least.
I'd like to know about the amplifier design as the heat sink runs pretty hot.
Like to check the bias and DC curents. Anybody have One? please let me know.
I have a Sansui 9090db and schematics, a Marantz 4270, and the
elusive Hitachi SR 2004, manuals to trade or to help someone else.:smoke:


Thanks for the replies...? NONE.
Go to manualscenter.com.
For Technics owner/service manuals.

I still have my 505 from 82, yes worth fixing. Mine needs the pots sprayed every once in a while. Decent sounding little receiver.
