Description

Sony STR-6055 Stereo Receiver – Freshly Serviced, Refinished Cabinet, Classic Vintage Appeal

This Sony STR-6055 is a true gem from the early 1970s: a freshly serviced classic stereo receiver, featuring an original real wood cabinet that’s been beautifully refinished to highlight its timeless design. The result is an audio centerpiece that looks as good as it sounds, with rich wood tones and clean lines—an essential addition for fans of classic hi-fi style.

All of the receiver’s functions (apart from AM radio) have been thoroughly tested and are performing flawlessly. The FM tuner, phono input, and auxiliary sources deliver that lush, musical Sony sound—backed by 40 watts per channel of clean, robust power into 8 ohms. The STR-6055’s tactile metal knobs, analog meters, and solid switches make every listening session a satisfying physical experience.

Please note: As is common with vintage receivers of this era, some of the original lettering on the faceplate has worn or faded over time, and there are even a few spots where the labels are absent. This has no impact on performance, and the receiver still presents beautifully, especially with its stunning cabinet and upgraded lamps.

Sony began in Tokyo in 1946, founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, and it helped bring the world the Walkman and the compact disc.

The Sony story, 1946 to today

Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita founded Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo ("Totsuko") in Tokyo in 1946, growing out of a radio repair business Ibuka had started the year before. The company was renamed Sony in 1958.

Tape and transistors. The G-model tape recorder of 1950 is described as Japan's first, and the TR-55 transistor radio of 1955 was the first Sony-branded product.

ES. Sony describes the TA-1120 integrated amplifier of 1965 as the first all-silicon-transistor stereo amplifier and dates its ES ("Elevated Standard") line from it.

Walkman and CD. The Walkman went on sale in Japan in July 1979. Sony worked with Philips on the compact disc, and Sony's CDP-101 was among the first CD players on sale in Japan in October 1982. Sony still makes ES AV receivers.

Which Sony is which?

STR receivers: stereo receivers from the late 1960s on, such as the STR-6120, and later AV receivers, including ES models.

TA amplifiers and ES separates: from the TA-1120 to the TA-E86 preamplifier and TA-N86 power amplifier (1978).

CDP CD players: from the CDP-101 (1982) and CDP-701ES (1983) to changers such as the CDP-CE305 and CDP-C335 we sell often.

TC tape decks: reel-to-reel recorders until 1985, and cassette decks such as the TC-K61 and the three-head TC-K777ES.

SS speakers: such as the SS-G7 floorstanders of 1978.

Buying used Sony: what to check

CD players. Open and close the drawer several times; hesitation can be an early sign of trouble. Laser pickups wear, skipping is a symptom, and tray belts age.

Cassette decks. Belts dry out and cause slipping or uneven playback, and worn heads dull the sound. Run fast-forward and rewind, and check Dolby.

Amplifiers and receivers. Noisy switches and dirty relay contacts cause many faults, and bias settings drift with age. On tuners, look for blown bulbs and broken dial cords.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
