Back in the late 70's, the Japanese made some of the best stereo receivers. High quality builds, with quality discrete components. This was way before IC chips took over in circuit designs.
These devices were not only beautiful looking on the outside with their brushed aluminum front panels, and real walnut side panels; the interiors were equally beautiful.

Those were the days for sure. One of my first investments after graduating from college was a state of the art Yamaha receiver, RTR speakers and a Technics turntable. I added tape decks and amplifiers as I went along.

Back in the late 70's, the Japanese made some of the best stereo receivers. Not all. Here's what I bought in the 1970s---USA made:

Marantz, Pioneer, Teac tape decks (that I used as not only a tape deck but as an overdrive into my guitar amplifier).
Sadly, they're probably all in a landfill somewhere as I replaced them with the newer digital components (that were actually inferior).
It pains me when I run across this stuff on eBay going for hundreds or thousands of dollars.
