Technics Thrift Store Stereo System

Over the Memorial Day weekend, I saw an interesting looking Technics stereo set up at a local thrift store.  The system was like my current main system (Technics SU-V76 amplifier and Technics ST-S76 AM/FM radio tuner) with the addition of a Technics multi-CD player. 

For speakers, the thrift store had hooked up some venerable Realistic Optimus-2B speakers.  These speakers were made in the 1975 timeframe.  You can read more at Seventies Stereo about the Optimus-2B.

I didn't have a chance to stop and give these a listen, but it's really cool that this particular Goodwill store takes the time to set up working stereo systems.

To set a retro stereo system up like this Technics stereo and really go retro this HOMCOM Media cabinet can really play the retro part. It's available in woodgrain, white, or black laminates. As of November 2025, you can find it here on Amazon.
