    Proud owner of the sta 2300. 125wpc and 52lb beast. Had it serviced, and my technician said this monster will go another 30 years easy. Great video!!

    ❤ Nice. I can honestly say I own the Realistic holy grail, the 1978 STA 2100. ❤❤

    People did not give the Realistic name the respect it deserved. Many of their receivers were excellent rivalling the likes of Pioneer, Marantz, Kenwood, etc.

    The great myth of my childhood was that Realistic was no good. We know a lot better now, and we know some of the best names built these Receivers & Integrated Amps for Radio Shack. Realistic was a fine name in Stereo!

    I still own one of these, excellent receiver with plenty of heft and I love the tactile feel of the switch gear.

    I actually bought one of these receivers new back in the day. &nbsp;It was Radio Shack&apos;s top of the line receiver and had an output of 100 watts per channel.

    Great job on a beautiful receiver Joe. I always love your low key approach to your projects. Very calming and knowledgeable. Great call on the 50 volts! lol

    i believe there would be a market if they would still &nbsp;manufacture units like this. &nbsp; no integrated circuits. &nbsp; of all the units you have worked on Joe, this is one of my favorites &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a total classic look from the 70&apos;s 80&apos;s. &nbsp; beautiful

    My Dad had this and it was paired with the Realistic Optimus speakers. It put out some serious sound and was one heck of a receiver.
