Realistic sta 2000

As a kid, I used to hang visit the local Tandy store and marvel at all the wonderful array of electronics for sale. One of my favourite things was my Science Fair in-1 electronics kit , a Christmas present from my parents, purchased from Tandy Electronics. I had a small pair of Realistic speakers and lusted after the legendary Mach One speakers proudly on display at my local store, probably not far away from this old girl. Thanks to Norman and Ed, American readers who worked for Tandy Corporation, we have more information on this, though perhaps still no definitive answers. Norman told me that the STA was manufactured by Foster, a Japanese OEM who made speakers, radios and various other electronics for many companies back in the day. This ties in with my thinking at the time. Perhaps the only way to know exactly would be to speak to someone who worked in or managed some aspect of the factory back in the day. Ed has provided some excellent additional information about which models were made where, and by whom. Ed also provided a link from the Tandy catalogue page about the STA Tandy was certainly big enough by this point that they could have either purchased an OEM and called it Tandy or built their own factory from scratch. Courtesy HiFi Engine. This STA arrived with a broken left channel, stiff tuning and looking a little dull. I replaced a noisy transistor differential pair using high-spec parts, similar in performance, but with a much higher voltage rating. Hi Mal, thanks for commenting and I hope all is well. I worked with Tandy for years.

Mike, When a company private labels a component Foster Electric that company becomes in essence an extension of the company they private label for Tandywhich is why Tandy could advertise that they were built in their own factory. Would love to get my hands on one. Thinking of my personal extensive audio collection, realistic sta 2000 is not something I cannot say about too many pieces I have owned over the years, realistic sta 2000.

As you may know, Realistic was the house brand of Radio Shack and was meant to compete with Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui and other receivers at the time. Most of the Realistic receivers are well built and perform very well. Price wise they were very competitive with the other audio brands at the time. The styling of the STA is very nice and is reminiscent of the Pioneer models of the same era. The wood panels are walnut veneer which matches nicely with the silver face. As you can see it has a very large flywheel tuning knob and the other knobs and buttons are nicely laid out.

Where would be a good place to sell one or get a Fair price. Log in Register. Thank you. You can find better value with vintage speakers but you have to be careful because some will need refoamed or perhaps some other work done. As you can see it has a very large flywheel tuning knob and the other knobs and buttons are nicely laid out. Damage said:. When asked about this fact, Bernie Appel, the audio buyer for Radio Shack, said they put extra effort into making their receivers more reliable than Pioneers, and considered the trade-off the right one. Submitted by joeyho on June 26th, You can usually audition them before buying them as well. Sharpstik Stuck in the 70's. Search Advanced search…. Better than the STAD that replaced it. Sure was a beast at WPC and that Toroidal transformer.

The Sta is super underrated power. Tons of clean power and great driver control. Damage said:. Hi Norman, thanks for the additional info and this makes sense. Can only confirm what is written about the STA Excellent sound and performance, big power supply with 2x uf, even good tuner and Phono stage. I dont need another reciever having just sold about 10 but for that price I couldn't resist. Media New media New comments Search media.
