Vintage Realistic STA-12 31-1965 AM/FM Stereo Personal Receiver Tested Works. Tested works great. See pictures for condition.

Here find offered a Realistic stereo receiver from 1972, I am the original owner. I bought this from Radio Shack a few years out of high school and used it for about 5 years till I upgraded. I loaned it to a relative for about 10 years who used it for background music. Then it came back to me and has been in storage for 30 years. This is the STA-120B with about 45 watts per channel. This is all ‘old school’ tech here. Cassette decks were just becoming high fi about then. It has the usual phono, aux., tape in/put, and main/remote speaker connections. It has a superior FM tuner. It also has a built-in AM bar antennae inside that really brings in stations if you use AM in your area. All connections are the old binding post type or RCA pins back then before technology caught up. Cosmetically it is in superior condition with only a few scratches and wear areas, see the photos. It has been stored wrapped in a plastic bag. It has the original owner’s manual with it. There are two things not working- The Tuner band bulbs are out. They can be replaced by taking off the top metal bar, they are underneath that. The Tape-Level input control on the back has no gain. You can faintly hear the input source but the knob will not raise the level. Probably a diode or cap needs replacing. So not perfect but hey it’s 50 years old, these are easy fixes for a service shop. It is very clean inside as you can see. I hooked up a pair of JBL Control1 speakers to it and it sounded great. All knobs and switches are there and work like new, positive clicks up and down, tuner knob works perfect, signal strength and center tuning meters work along with stereo light. OK, this is wrapped and padded with solid styrofoam braces in a sturdy box weighing 31 pounds, measuring 24X21X10 inches with Fragile stickers. It will be insured for the selling price. I use UPS Ground only. OK, thanks! ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I will refund my Seller’s domestic shipping discount that Ebay gives me to the buyer after the auction ends.. NO RETURNS, once it ships it is yours. I only use UPS, Post Office is too unreliable. I have one of the best ratings for safe packing. I charge a small handling fee, all shipments are Insured. Pay in 4 days to avoid unpaid claim. Trouble makers will go on my ‘blocked buyer’ list. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: Ebay now handles all the Intl. paperwork. All packages are shipped to the nearest Ebay Intl. Hub and they finish it from there. I am only responsible for the shipping to the Hub, I use UPS to do that. NO free shipping, no Alaska or Hawaii or APO and the like, no PO boxes—A valid address must be provided. Addendem:( It seems that I need to EXPLAIN why I don’t use USPS-the Post Office-for ground shipments, or use USPS FLATRATE cartons. So here goes: FLATRATE CARTONS don’t allow room for padding on model kits or Fragile items.——After an auction closes and you need to buy and print a shipping label, NO option for a ground label is offered, even though the auction was set up using USPS ground service. You would have to purchase a Priority label and pay the Priority charges for a ground shipment. Only a Priority label option appears. Ebay said that you have to take your auction to the Post office and ask for a Parcel Select label or a ground label, and they may not do that for you. I won’t pay for a Priority

Realistic STA-120 Stereo Receiver. Unit is clean. Fully functional and recently serviced by Nashville Amplifier. Come from a non smoking home.

This is a working unit. I have listed it as for parts or not working because it needs to have the flat shafts that control the left and right volumes replaced. I can put the tip of a small flat head screwdriver in the slots and slide the controls to adjust the volume. The unit is in very nice cosmetic condition with working dial lights. The receiver will be well packed for shipping.
