Toshiba SB-514

1 9 7 4 1974
1 9 7 5 1975

QUAD in all its (late) splendor : four channels, four VU meters, four balance pots, two headphones' plugs and many push-buttons to get lost in all the possible modes and systems.


The smaller brother of this rare line is the SB-404S.

The dedicated CD-4 decoder + rear power amp and disc demodulator are the SC-410S and SY-404.
