 The Rotel RX-802

- silver front version

 
The RX-802 was very flexible, with connection for 2 sets of speakers and 2 tape recorders with copying both ways. 2 phono inputs. High/low filters and a loudness function. Tone controls were dual-concentric. It had tuning meters for "max" and "best" signal. Also AM.
 
     
The European version did not have AC outlets and all connections were via DIN-standard plugs. The rather large cooling fins can be seen at the bottom of the back. The pre and power amps were connected via U-connectors at the rear, making it possible to split the signal path if need be.
At this non-european version can be seen AC outlets and the pring-loaded speaker teminals. "Our" version had DIN speaker connectors - no AUX AC outlets.  These receivers were made in Japan, the cheaper model at Taiwan.
 
Nearest can be seen the 2 phono input connectors - RCA-plugs - the European version had DIN-connectors. There is a toggle switch for phono input sensitivity. While "our" version had U-conncetors to separate pre and power-amp., this version has a switch and RCA-connectors.
