Bought this about 4 years ago from a seller in Quebec - with no schematics and many intermittent electronic purchases - today , she has came back to life ! It`s the same size as an M-90 and at 10 watts per channel no slouch- pounds out the tunes efficiently ! Very happy to have her alive and well :)

Thanks guys! If you`ve ever had something you could just not get rid of no matter what , this was it for me -(the wife calls it hoarding :lol: ) anyways, after 4 years of intermittent work on her and hit and miss cause of no schematics- when she fired up think I was jumping up and down :lol:

Unusual thing this Citizen - among other things, it took forever to find a volume pot with , count em, 7 pins! Crazy but ordered 1 from China of all places - could not find one anywhere in N/A ..so far so good .. for those interested she measures 23" wide, 13 " high handle down , and 7" deep , weighs 15 pounds - there`s a bit of real estate between the rear of the cabinet and the speakers . The sound is clear - when the dj is talking or playing at a good volume (7) you can feel it in your chest. It starts to breakup at 8 but that is plenty loud enough ! This box has an AKA , it`s an isp str-850 .. believe available in Europe but not sure. She`s a keeper :yes:

Once you take into the consideration, the size of the cassette....then you start to realize, this thing is BIG!

Really like this one! Love how angular it is, so many right angles and sharp corners.

I wonder if it's got AKA's? I've definitely never seen this one before though.

Great score!



Rock On.

That looks good & simple on the inside, not too densely packed with components and as such, should be an easy one to repair if it should happen to break down. :thumbsup:

The more I see of this model, the more I like it. :yes:
