There is a Kyocera R851 for 2 hundred very close to me....

anyone ever heard this receiver?

I had one of those R series receivers a number of years ago, a lower # model. R451 maybe? It was a fine sounding midgrade receiver, perhaps smoother than my completely rebuilt Marantz 1152dc I was running at the time. I would expect a TOTL one like that to be quite nice.

Nope but google has, it looks like a real crapshoot.

thanks Carl....

I read it but could not get a clear consensus
I will save my money for that Mcintosh in my future....

Yes, it looks to be a sweet unit but it is 30 years old and not all those types have those IC type parts that can be bought nowadays. Maybe somebody that actually knows what they are talking about like Rob can chime in. :)


Carl

you could be right Pete.....

I am just tired of dead right channels

it is tempting....

You and me both. Right now the only working bits in my stereo are the TT, Blu-ray player and speakers. No pre, cd player. Even my backup old HT receiver went down. I don't have a functioning stereo at all! I can play cds and internet radio on the Blu-ray - through the tv :grr: Still beats nothing. Kinda. Fixed soon I hope.

I have a bid on MC2100

probably should not have bid....

well hopefully my wife will be at work should it arrive lol

Not at all familiar with Kyocera, sorry

Stereo shit you have NEVER seen before. A 1960 SABA (Schwarzwälder Apparate Bau) stereo tube receiver built by the factory as a prototype. This item is a priceless unikate, it exists only one time (in my living room). The first regular SABA receiver was offered in 1964. Enjoy the picture!
