Guest 300B Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Hello, all -I wanted to let those interested know that I've listed an original AR receiver on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=5701053234Please excuse the cross-post, but the "For Sale" forum is pretty easy to miss! I've attached a photo, and a bit of AR advertising from the 1971 Lafayette catalog, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ar_pro Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Did the AR receiver pre-date the AR amplifier, or were the tuner and amplifier released after the receiver? Why did AR include a headphone jack on the receiver, but not on the amp...I had to use one of those goofy Koss headphone boxes with my old AR amplifier!

The AR Receiver was introduced in 1969, and the AR Tuner followed in 1970. AR originally felt that a phone jack for headphones was not necessary with the Amplifier, but the demand for it was answered in the AR Receiver. The last of the original AR electronics came in 1973.--Tom Tyson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
