Realistic STA-47 Stereo Receiver -- Part2

In part 2, I continue my mindless rambling, but I do manage to set the idle current. Afterwards I did quickly hook up the distortion meter, to see if my "guessed" idle (bias voltage) setting was correct. The setting was in the correct zone. I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I also had the base and treble controls in a neutral position, and the loudness control was in the "off" position.

Great video OS! Are you putting this unit inline? I'm sure with a nice pair of speakers, it will sound good! I have a 1970's something JCP even cheaper stereo in line thats only 2w per channel, I have it on real nice floor speakers and its just amazing how great it sounds! Been running it as a DUT for the past year, will be pulling it soon to put my Sony back inline. ~Jack, VEG

I can only guess that these were some kind of quality/assembly control markings used during production/assembly.
