Harmon Kardon 230A Receiver (~1970)

The younger brother to the famous and abundant HK 330 series (330A, 330B, and 330C), the 230A shares many of the design cues that made that line so popular.   Nice styling touches include a red, lit, power button, sold aluminum machined knobs, and that distinctive black-out dial face that lights in a beautful green glow when AM or FM is selected.  An unusual feature on the 230A is a split AM and FM dial.

Sony STR-7055 Receiver  (1972-976)

A real beauty from Sony is the STR-7055 and it's close sibling, the STR-7065.  The 1970s near-equivalent to the 1960s STR-6120.  It had the same lineup near-topper status, same quality but a very different internal structure.  The differences between the 7055 and the real topper STR-7065 lie in more power, a third output for an extra loudspeaker pair, the possibility to mix two microphones together. The rest is the same : DC structure (yes), FET-charged 4-gang FM tuner section).

Pioneer TX-6700 Tuner

The TX-6700 was offered by Pioneer between 1978 and 1980.  It did not have the family resemblance of other tuners in the Pioneer line in the late 1970s. The reason for this is the location  of the signal strength and stereo signal meters on the front panel instead of the tuning dial area.   The original price was $180.00
