In Reply to: RE: I own this receiver back in the early 80's... posted by kootenay on June 26, 2016 at 12:32:29
I searched the Internet, but couldn't find my first stereo. It was sold by the Singer Sewing company. A receiver, a BSR mini-changer, and little one way speakers. I got it for my 15th birthday, in 1969.
My friend's second system was a Marantz 2270 with KLH speakers. He then went with stacked pairs of the original large Advents.
Although I doubt the 2270 was the best I always thought it was a great receiver.

I think I saw the singer once. A 2270 with stacked Advents sounds like a good system to me!

That was a re-badged KLH 20 or something very close to it that was released after KLH's acquisition by Singer in 1964. It is incontrovertible proof of the ancient maxim, "Loudspeakers and sewing machines don't mix."
No, I don't think so. It was more similar to the Panasonic complete stereo systems of that time. A separate receiver and stand alone mini-changer. It had a ceramic cartridge
I replaced the tt with a Garrard SL65 from Olson Electronics, within the first year I owned it.
Singer had like 2 or 3 stereos they sold. Thet also had a record section. They threw in one LP when my parents took me there to get it. I choose Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers".
It was all upward from there a Kenwood integrated amp, large Advents, then a Dual 1219,and various cassette decks. And lots of upgrades ever since.
I choose Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers".
Good choice!
Dave
