I think these were pretty durn common. Nice looking little receiver. I have one, but it's got issues (a li'l curl of smoke arose from one of the power transistors and then the fuse went south).I DO have the R/S catalog with the SA-64 and/or the SA-64B, and will scan the info when I remember. I think the Sa-64 was 16 wpc, and the 64B was 18, but that's only a recollection.
No idea who made 'em. Probably Standard Radio, Hitachi, Sanyo, or someone we've never heard of. Contrary to popular belief, I don't think any of the R/S ss stereo receivers were made by Pioneer or any of the big names. Any physical resemblance of an R/S receiver to a "name brand" counterpart was, I suspect, strictly intentional!
This was NOT true of all of their equipment, as R/S sold a thinly disguised TEAC R to R and some Hitachi cassette decks ca. 1980 with the "Realistic" brand on 'em.
all the best,
