I have read yrly’s and others interest in audio gear off the radar screen. I recently
bought a Receiver that may fit this category. I spotted it at in a Thrift for 20 dollars.
The unit is a Craig 5503 and has a lot of quality features. The unit has Preout/main
ins and has inputs for 2 aux and 2 phono’s as well as two tape decks. The front
has an aluminum finish with detented aluminum knobs. It also has a switchable slope
for its tone controls.
I tried finding info on it but I haven’t found anything yet. It has the look and feel of a mid-70’s unit. Up till now I never thought Craig put out any quality gear only all-in-one units with low power. But after listening to it I think I’m going to look for other such gear and give them a shot. It has a power consumption of 290 watts so I would say it would be around 40-60watts a channel.
Here are a few pics
