I don't know what category to put this under or where to even start but I need help trying to identify the make and model of this vintage audio receiver. It's from the 1970s. That's about all I have to go on other than the picture below and I realize it's not the greatest pic. This was the receiver we had in our living room growing up so I'd like to track down the same exact model as the one we had. Any help at all is appreciated even if that means sending me in another direction. This genuinely is a sincere request and I truly appreciate your time.

Judging from the toggle switches with the squared-off ends it looks like a 1979-1981 vintage Technics, probably a lower-line model than the one shown here. Your best bet is to search ebay auctions until you see one that meets your description.

There are quite a lot similar looking receivers but it is really hard to tell exact maker or model out of that picture, unless some 1 happen to have owned one of same receiver. I would say its from somewhere 70-80's. I would try googling manufacturers from that era and try to find pictures of their receivers and try to find match from there if you want to find out exact model of that receiver.

There has to be a brand name on there somewhere.

When I saw that picture, the first thing that sprang into my mind was Technics, too.
