im sure on my uncles garage stereo system AFG and FM stereo are the same stations switching between the two didn't sound any different, what is this about?

I had a newer version of this radio that had the same indications, but without slide controls and a rotary switch design for function and speakers. Even the dial pointer was conventional. They are good radios with good sound. The tuner needed work as the stereo encoder would never turn off, unless the receiver was on a station not transmitting in stereo. Very strange, but cool.

The receiver is a CR-280, built about 1970.

Looks like a good shop radio to me. Was there anything wrong with it?

I worked for GTE Sylvania and was responsible for repairing and updating these..Be careful of the transistors in sockets..That unit has a dc direct coupled amplifier circuit and intermittient connections in the sockets can cause dc voltage to appear on the speaker outputs and that could damage your speakers....Thank John Borlaug for the sockets !

@GBS1043 Thank you! Do you know what causes an odd fuzzy-like sound in the treble frequency on the amp? It does that on one channel. The sound comes through, but it has a fuzzy sound on the treble. Also, I tried opening the case, but it seems that maybe there's screws down where the faceplate might be or something, as I could not get the chassis out. Thanks.
