There once was this super awesome receiver Technics made in the early
90s. I was not able to acquire such a unit at the time, but that's all
different now. I know it's old, and there is much better stuff out
there for far cheaper, but I fell in love with this "King-Kong"
machine. Most will remember the Technics SA-TX50 as it looks similar to
the one I'm looking for (it is also the only thing that will show a
photo in a google search). The differences are that the TX50 has a
charcoal cabinet and the TX1000 has a pale gold finish. The TX1000 was
much bigger and had the labels THX & Class H+
I'm looking for this unit and will not stop until I have one.

OK, The SA-TX1200 turned out to be nothing. But there might have been a
SATX1010.

You can see the similar SATX50 here:

So I looked, and looked, but only found material suggesting that the
SATX1000 was the first unit Technics made with THX (black cabinet - no
big meters). After digging around I found that the TX50 (smaller
version) was made in 1995-1996. I then found in one small corner of the
web, a SA-TX1010 was made in 1995!

So with that I'm not looking for the SA-TX1010
Anyone have a photo so I can verify it is the nice shinny unit I'm
looking for?
