Very nice ! I would say that range was Technics peak... All downhill thereafter minus a couple of exceptions.

Thanks lads,Yes when things were made proper :D.I have been searching for one since I got the Technics se-9600 amp, another big beast built like and weighs and much as a tank.It was still a big decision to make given the price.But I don't think I would have been happy until I got one,Nothing like a matching set.
Yes James Technics finest from mid 70's. I would like a tape player from the same range/era:D

The most common issue I've had to fix on these old Technics is always the big PSU smoothing caps that dry up & go short circuit and take out a rectifier but nothing more.

Very clean looking inside I always find that I pick up kit that has 20 years worth of dust and cobwebs :lol:

Oh its always like that for me too... I hate it when the dust is so old its become impregnated into the circuit board :rolleyes:

If something's going to be staying long term I give it a full strip down, at one point I had a 'Trio KA-8100' that was so bad I had to leave the PCB in a bath of distilled water & isopropyl overnight... Looked like brand spanking new afterwards though :eek:

Looking at all the tape options on the amp it looks like a decent piece of kit to make cassette recordings with, mind you I suppose if you wanted to do that you'd buy a nak:doh:
