"Headbanger Receiver" 1981

This beast arrived in a trade yesterday. I am going to have to look inside to see if I can determine which supplier to Radio Shack made it, but my guess would be Pioneer. It's rated at 80 watts/channel, and has just about every bell and whistle. The power meters go to 150 watts. I expect it to be a powerhouse. The balance control is very scratchy, and I'll investigate. I hope to be listening soon, and can't wait to hear the 2080 driving stacked Advents.
UPDATE: The balance control is scratchy and affecting everything. I'll get back to you on this one.
