Extra Info: Robin of Dr Hifi has recently finished the work on this beautiful receiver. He said the tuner section is one of the best he has seen and that the unit is in beautiful condition inside and out.

He replaced the light of the tuner section with a normal white/yellow light instead of the green blue light which looks really great.

All needles moving perfectly. The work he did cost over $500.

I will add more pics later today but for now here is a stock pic from online.

This thing is HUGE by the way!

Built like "tanks" (as the saying goes), these were made to last a lifetime.
However, few of them did see much of the said lifetime for the 1980s came up and all big knobs, rocker switches and full scales suddenly looked hopelessly heavy and old-fashioned... or so thought the marketing wizards.

True to its signature, and although the times called for it, Sony didn't go for over-over-over-sized looks and disco shiny-ness : the V series is quite restrained in its appearance - like Yamaha's receivers, the Sonys were rather classy than brassy which is another reason why they are much less remembered than a G-33000 or an SX-1250...
The green glow and chrome frames are carefully balanced with the different finish textures - class.

Selling abundantly in Europe, not as much in the US and not at all in Japan - this first "STR-V" series was export-only.

One transitional unit was briefly added before this set of receivers got shelved : the STR-V4, looking exactly like a transitional model.
Also the STR-V3, looking exactly like a very good-looking transitional model, STR-V2 and STR-V1.

None of these remained available very long for Sony, quicker than most others, understood the upcoming decade was to be very different : bye bye big dinosaurs... hello slick slim-liners !
