*Serviced* Hitachi SR-804 AM/FM Stereo Receiver -- LEDs, Nichicon Caps, Nice!

Description

Vintage Hitachi SR-804 in good condition.
This unit has fresh warm white LEDs for the indicator lamps, and the power supply has been fully recapped with Nichicon electrolytic capacitors.
Along with the aforementioned servicing, all four main output transistors were removed and cleaned, and brand new fresh ARCTIC MX4 thermal paste was applied to bring down operating temperatures. The original thermal paste had dried up and the unit was running warmer than I was comfortable with. The new thermal paste made a huge, noticeable difference in ambient operating temperature. This unit will function and sound much better now that it is running cooler.
Unit works well and sounds great.
The outer wood case is in good condition with some surface scratches and wear--see photos. These do not penetrate the veneer on top and are just surface level. The unit presents itself very well when on display and looks great.
Hitachi equipment doesn't get the recognition that it deserves--this is a very nice looking and sounding unit that is on par with Pioneer, Kenwood, and any of the other silverface receiver manufacturers of the 1970s. It was my first Hitachi restoration and I was impressed with the sound and build quality. Just as good as the heavy hitters.
