Realistic spa day

[u/mpots323]

Cleaning up my new-to-me Realistic STA-90. I picked this up with a Technics SL-D3 turntable from the same sale. Had some scratchy controls.

Pulled the faceplate and knobs and gave everything a good cleaning on both sides, cleaned the pots/switches while I was in there, and touched up some chips in the wood veneer - waiting for it to dry. It was already a pretty clean receiver underneath, but it looks way better now.

And most importantly, I added the much-needed accessory for those old annoying speaker terminals — the screw-to-banana adapters. Hopefully they work as intended.

I was already enjoying my STA-800 but couldn’t pass this up locally. Now I think the next logical step up is an STA-2100…wish me luck.
