Rehabilitation of a Radio Shack Realistic STA-78 Stereo Receiver from 1978/1979

The STA-78 is a vintage 22 watts-per-channel stereo receiver sold in the late 1970s by Radio Shack under the Realistic name. This one came with minor issues on the the cabinet and on the insides. In this short video, I take care of all the issues and am left with a beautiful looking and beautiful sounding music system. One of my numerous neighbours visits me during this video.
