Going to GoodWill lately has being a gross waste of time. The albums if in my taste are trashed and very little in way of useable electronics. I came across this Realistic SA-150 integrated amp. All the connections are RCA type. I hooked up my bdrm cdp and fashioned some speaker cables to my JBL -2060s and the thing works great. Great is realative, it's sounds better than my beay Sony that I had to use the rear speaker output which sounded terrible. This at least sounds ok. All for $7...

    LW- I've got one of those that I take with me when trying out speakers I find on CL. Good little piece (relative to cost). Enjoy.

    From the 1986 catalog, also had a matching mini tuner. Not much info though.

    http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/html/1986/h011.html

    Introduced in 1985, ran till 1993 and was replaced by a black-faced SA-155 in 1994.

    Hey thanks, the only thing and w/ me there is always something. The speaker terminals like all other connectors on the back are RCAs and that limits the speakers one could use if you don't know how to split the conductors inside a rca cable. I have so many crappy RCA cables that I gutted a pair and it works fine. Seebeer it's 9" wide and 6' deep I'd say it's a little amp for sure.I don't even think it rates a change of sig. lol lol

    Rat Shack used to sell RCA to speaker terminal wiring. I got some there for some old equipment like yours. But that was a few years ago. Still worth a try. But stripping old RCA is not that bad, all you have to do is just match the wires to the +/- so that they are the SAME for both speakers, and you can 'eye' that!
