1980's Radio Shack stereo with 15" speakers

Testing a stereo that I was cleaning up. It is actually pretty well made, and has 100 watts per channel.

The distortion comes from the microphone in my camera. This was the first time I overpowered it with something. Kind of funny how I turn up the volume on the stereo, but it doesn't get any louder on the recording because of the AGC on the camera.

Man Maxx, you find some great stuff! Do people donate their equipment to you, collect them, or trash dig?

[Maxxarcade]

@cgillyard All of the above LOL. This is actually a really old video, and I've long since sold this!

Please can you tell me the name of the song? thanks :)

[Maxxarcade]

I can't remember what song it was, but if I could make out the lyrics better, it wouldn't be hard to find.

thats an insanely good flat response from the cabinet

It was a great sounding system from back when Radio Shack was decent. The amp was 100W per channel and was quite heavy.

That's what they used to mean by "Can I have your stereo?" when you were dying. Not some stupid piece of shit i-pod docking station or mini 3 disc stereo system like they have now.

This is a stereo. Not some gay ass Ipod dock or what ever.

I got several systems like this, they kick ass.

@silvercityblue I miss seeming them in ppl's houses back in the 90s. Eversince the advent of surround sound I started to see less of those cool stereos.

Boy whatever happened to those stereos? I got a Sony stereo now, and I love it, don't get me wrong. But I'd still like to go back to old school sometimes, back when stereos were stereos. NICE!!!

I don't know why people like iPod docks. I (Well, my sister) had one, POS, died with in a few months of use.

My iPod dock is a vintage stereo with 3 large pairs of speakers.
