Vintage Realistic STA-2100D AM/FM Stereo Receiver
Testing: Speakers were connected to the receiver's A speaker inputs. Receiver powers on. When the power button is turned on, it is red for a second or two then turns to green. Picked up FM radio stations well. Sound comes out both channels. Gets good volume. Volume, tuning, balance, bass, midrange, and treble controls all work. Signal, tuning, and wattage meters work. No other inputs (turntable, tape monitors, aux) were tested.The main back light which lights up the face and tuning area is either real faint or the bulb is burnt out and may need to be replaced. The AM, Phono 1, Phono 2, and Stereo indicator lights turn on when they should. But the FM and Aux works don't turn on when selected. Not sure about the Dolby FM light.Cosmetically the face, dials, buttons, and switches are in great condition. Wood cabinet has some nicks around the edges. When looking at the top, the mark on the left side isn't a scratch but rather where something had scrapped against it. You can see how the mark continues onto a small part of the black grill. This mark couldn't probably be removed by cleaning or buffing away.
Overall, this receiver is in good functional and cosmetic condition considering its age, but because I was unable to test everything, it is sold with no guarantee that everything functions as new.
Weight: 50 lbs. The receiver will be carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and packed for shipping in a box lined with thick styrofoam sheets.
