Hello folks. Can anyone help me identify the Yamaha stuff shown in these pictures? I know the receiver is a R-300, but I'm also curious about the speakers and the turntable. If you can identify these pieces, feel free to contribute any opinions on their quality.

Many thanks!

TT looks like a P-750 (550).

R-300 is probably a decent little receiver... I have the 700 and quite like it. 1000 is on the way...

Tape deck is a K-200 or K-300 if memory serves... still have my father-in-law's K-300 around here (albeit with functional issues).

Thanks for the replies! I got in touch with the seller and found out that the turntable is a P-20 and the speakers are NS-A77s.

I've searched around and found some helpful info about the turntable, but not much about the speakers. Anyone have any experience with or opinions about these or the TT?

Thanks again!

I have an R300 receiver, haven't used it in a while. Sounds OK, but be careful, they have STK modules in them which could be a little hard to get. Not too fond of the rather cheesy plastic vinyl on the case, looks good from far but far from good.
Tape deck is definitely a K200, a reasonably competent 2 motor logic unit. Got rid of mine some time ago, nice looking but not sounding to my tastes.

Thanks for the help! I think I want to pass on this, but the asking price is $100 for the whole lot! That seems too good to pass up....
