Description

Sony STR 7055 Stereo Receiver. Classic Vintage. Completely revitalized.

 

The company was established by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita in Tokyo in 1946 as Tokyo Tsushin Kenkyu-jo Research Institute, initialy providing service. A year later, it was transformed into a company called Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha (abbreviated Totsuko), whose main purpose was the production of telecommunications equipment and voltmeters. The 50’s turned out to be crucial for the company. At that time, a tape recorder and transistor radio were created, and in 1955 a decision was made to use the SONY logo on Totsuko products. The name came from the Latin word “sonus” – sound and “sonny boy” – used in the US to describe a little boy. The 1960s were a period of rapid development and international expansion for the company. Then also TA-1120 was created, which is the world’s first stereo receiver based on silicon transistors. In 1979, the iconic SONY product appeared on the market, a portable “walkman” cassette player. In the following decades, the company also introduced and promoted trademarks such as discman, trinitron and playstation.

The company’s rapid growth has boosted sales and reputation. In 1960, the decision was made to open the first foreign branches in the USA and Switzerland, making Sony become a true international corporation.

The STR series is one of the biggest commercial hits in the history of the Japanese company, at least in the audio equipment market. These models are distinguished not only by beautiful design, but also by their longevity and reliability. Many lucky owners claim that these receivers work exactly as they did forty years ago. The tuner itself was clearly not created as just an extra gadget, but a high quality radio receiver (which works great even with an ordinary wire).

Sony STR-7055 was produced in the years 1973-1974. It has a simple, classic shape, and the wooden enclosure adds elegance and class. This is the company’s flagship model from that period and one of the highest in the STR-70XX line. This model is known for its longevity and reliability. It is characterized by a very soft and warm sound.

The presented version of STR-7055 comes in a metal enclosure. The new wooden enclosure was built from scratch basing on original designs from the 70s. Teak wood was used and the upper element was CNC milled. The wood finish is Chinese oil produced from natural oils. Potentiometers in perfect condition. The device has been completely reviewed and serviced. Collector’s item. In perfect condition.
