1972 Heathkit Model CR-1000 FM Stereo Tuner and Matching Amplifier
<
This is a Heathkit Model CR-1000 high-fidelity FM Stereo Tuner and its matching
Power Amplifier CRA-1000-1. It is intended to be used in an automobile, recreation
vehicle, or pleasure boat. It features an easily read dial, a large thumbwheel
tuning knob, a center tune indicator (blue) and a stereo indicator (red). It
has an on/off switch, volume, balance, and tone controls. It is all solid state. I built the
tuner and amplifier and used it in the college dorm and received many stations
with just a wire antenna. The radio is made to use 75 ohm unbalanced coax rather
than the unbalanced 300 ohm twin lead typical of many home entertainment systems.
This radio and amplifier also had a matching cassette player. I did not buy that
component.
