Sony STC-7000
(1971 - 1975)

Sony's only "preceiver", very much on the High End side, sporting a MOS-FET driven 5-gang capacitor with 8 filters, FETs all around and... surface-mounted ICs - almost a first in 1970. Nowadays not often seen because the original pricetag was quite majestic as well : 550$ !

A beautiful french 1972 catalog was recently found - stay tuned !
