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.

Sherwood S-8250 CP AM/FM Stereo Receiver 25 WPC
Twenty-five watts a channel into 8 ohms from Sherwood's Certified Performance series — the range where Sherwood printed the measured figures for the individual unit rather than for the model. MM phono, noise filter, mute/mono, loudness and A/B speakers, behind a brushed aluminium face with walnut-grain side panels. Level 2 serviced here: bias and DC offset set, every control deoxidised.
JVC JR-S201 Receiver – 35 WPC, Japan, SEA EQ, Excellent
Thirty-five watts a channel at 0.01% distortion with a damping factor of 70 — numbers most larger receivers of 1978 could not reach. A five-band S.E.A. graphic equalizer sits on the front panel at 40, 250, 1k, 5k and 15kHz, alongside MM phono, two tape loops and push-button speaker terminals. Made in Japan, arrived professionally serviced; cosmetically graded Excellent.
Pioneer SX-50 Silver Face Receiver – 50 WPC, Pre-Outs, 1983
Fifty watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.007% distortion, and — unusually for a receiver this size — pre-out and main-in jacks on the back, so it can feed a subwoofer, take an equalizer in the loop, or hand off to a larger power amp. Introduced in 1983 with switchable CD and TV audio inputs, presets held by three AA cells, and the silver face of the decade that was ending. Graded Very Good.
Kenwood KR-A4070 Stereo Receiver – 60WPC, Phono, Original Remote
Sixty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full band at 0.01% distortion, with an MM phono input at 2.5mV, a tape monitor loop, and separate bass, treble and balance. The original Kenwood remote is here, which is uncommon on a receiver of this age. Level 1 serviced; cosmetically graded Good, with honest wear for its years.
Sherwood S-7250 CP Stereo Receiver – 20WPC, Phono, Wood Cabinet
Twenty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, an MM phono input at 80 dB signal-to-noise, and a tape monitor loop. Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.
