Title: Looking for info on the Sony STR-6060
Post by: paden501 on February 22, 2010, 04:22:03 PM

Hey all.  I've got a Sony STR-6060 laying around the house that I'd like to fix up.  I'm wondering if anybody knows where I can find any information about this receiver.  So far all I have is this:

http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/sonyvault/STR6060/STR6060.html (http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/sonyvault/STR6060/STR6060.html)

I'd like to find a parts/service manual if possible.  The receiver is currently not functioning properly.  I get a lot of buzz through the speakers while it's on, and the sound trails off for seconds after I power if off.  I'm assuming it's probably capacitor related, based on the age of the unit. 

Let me know if you have any info on this please!.

Thanks.

My blue book say's 1969-1974 42w.p.c.  $400.00

 Some of the old Sony's are really good, some are not so good. I am not familiar with the 6060.  I would like to score one of the VFET models they made..

  If you decide you don't want to do it, and it's cosmetic condition is good, let me know if you want to get rid of it..

Mike

Thanks for the info Mike.  I'm going to hold on to it for now.  It has some family heirloom value.  I'd really like to get it nursed back to health one of these days.
