Cleaning up my new-to-me Realistic STA-90. I picked this up with a Technics SL-D3 turntable from the same sale. Had some scratchy controls.

Pulled the faceplate and knobs and gave everything a good cleaning on both sides, cleaned the pots/switches while I was in there, and touched up some chips in the wood veneer - waiting for it to dry. It was already a pretty clean receiver underneath, but it looks way better now.

And most importantly, I added the much-needed accessory for those old annoying speaker terminals — the screw-to-banana adapters. Hopefully they work as intended.

I was already enjoying my STA-800 but couldn’t pass this up locally. Now I think the next logical step up is an STA-2100…wish me luck.

B.A. Sweetie's is a candy wholesaler that is also open to the public. They have a huge collection of vintage stuff deforating the walls, including this gem!

I’ve never seen a radio like this before. It looks like it was made in the 2000s.The radio stations on there are very limited most of the time it’s static and there’s only 2-3 of them that seem come through. It has a working clock but the time is incorrect. It’s seems to be in good condition depending on how old it could be.The antenna is on the inside rather than on the side on the outside. I like how this radio looks like a phone and folds open. The mirror is in a good condition as well.

Still working!
