I got STA-90 from an original owner who cherished it so well that it's in museum condition, only DeoxIt was needed, and oiling. 1976-77, 45wpc with Quatravox feature.
Unbelievable look when glow in dark. Contrary to other receivers, it's not white, not green, not blue, but rather very warm orange/amber lights and very bright. In my opinion, this rare orange/amber glow beat Pioneer, Marantz, Sansui, etc.
The thing is that once I had a received with such color glow. It was very vintage (probably 1960) Magnavox receiver / 8-track player combo, that had this warm and bright orange/amber glow. Since I sold it, I was always missing this face color.
Until I found STA-90. Looks like STA-52B has the same glow. I want to post pictures, but it's hard to catch the beauty of face glow on picture.
