Sanyo Model 688 Stereo Rack System
Hello everyone today at goodwill I bought off of the salvage pile a nice Sanyo Model 688 Rack System (the tuner is model JT-688, the Graphic Equalizer is model HG-688, the Integrated Amp is model JA-688, and the Tape Deck was a Model RD-W688 and it has a place/hookups for a turntable model TP-688 which didn't come with it because I'm assuming that it did come with it originally but then it must of died and was tossed out years ago and was replaced with a Sony CD Player model CDP-190 from 1990 whereas the rest of the unit dates back to 1986 according to the date code on the unit.)
It came with a set of large Sanyo speakers model SS-900 which seem to be fairly high end 3-way speakers. Pics are posted below. |

I remember seeing these at Kmart and the catalog stores back then.They were great for the kids and a starter set.I think Fisher has a model like that.How is this powered .I remember some of these have ribbon type cables from the cassette,tuner and turntable that plugs into the amp unit.I have a tuner for a similar system here..Inside the amp unit there's probably a beefy STKxxxx chip amp.I be surprised if it has discrete transistors in the power section. The speakers look nice.They are not those common 4 to 6 inch all range speakers in the compact sets.
If I had a choice of these type of sets.I'll take this Sanyo over then any current stereo set similar to this set at Walmart. |

By the way, do you know if the tuner LCD panel was backlit? I'm wondering because it has a monochrome LCD Panel for the tuner dial and it has what appears to be a scorch mark next to the tuner dial display where there might of been a bulb of some sort to backlight the display that must of gotten too hot and scorched the plastic. |

JVC had a similar arrangement with some of their 80's stereos.
