Title: Luxman R-1050
Post by: OldiesButGoodies on November 13, 2016, 08:11:36 PM

Very well made and easy to repair (chassis comes out of wood case and everything is accessible from top and bottom) and align receiver (great service manual, available at hifiengine.com).  Two tape loops, two phono inputs.  55 solid watts per channel.  Lamps are easy to get 12 v.   If you can score one for cheap, it is hard to go wrong with this unit.  FM tuner sensitivity is ok,  not spectacular,  but the stations it does pick up sound well above average.

Greetings OBG!  Is the glass cracked on the face of that Luxman?
