Remarks[edit]
- The SA 600 was only available on the American market. However, the unit is switchable from 110V to 220V or 240V. The scale illumination is via incandescent bulbs with bayonet latches. The original bulbs were dipped in light blue lacquer. Colorless replacement bulbs are available here: BA9S, 6,3V 0,25A
- The receiver looks great with Technics tape machines (RS-1500US, RS-1506US and RS-1700) when equipped with the wooden side panels.
