I was 83/84 in the Bund and bought the RX-500 in black at SATURN in Cologne (mother store) for about 500DM of the redemption money in autumn 84.
Are there any model variants that only came on the market in 86?
On the photos I see on the Internet, I always see my receiver, which 5m next to my PC after now 28 years still does its job every day...
I also still have the original purchase receipt somewhere.
Since I was so satisfied with the K-700, I got the remote receiver for it - and that was just from the purchase price. It should be visible on photos of my student digs, but all documents are still buried in boxes somewhere...
I don't know where 2 years difference should have come from - but I wouldn't swear that it was NOT 86.
No planned obsolescence[edit]
I bought my Yamaha in 1985, I mean for 550 DM. Still works fine in 2015! The sellers of new devices think that the electrolytic capacitors should age. Apparently, quality was sold in the past.
