Sony ST-SA50ES - Remote-Capable FM/AM Tuner

Description

ST-SA50ES is the last Sony ES standalone tuner, released in 1999.
Unlike most previous Sony tuners, this unit has an IR sensor and can be remote controlled directly with no need for Control-S cables. However, it was not issued with a remote. It can be controlled with any number of Sony system remotes, or the RM-J300 Japan-only tuner remote.
This has the 90s ES front panel style, making it a perfect match for E90ES, N90ES, XA2ES/XA20ES/XA3ES/XA7ES, KA2ES/KA3ES, ZA5ES, EP90ES.
Functional condition: Receives radio broadcasts excellently. However, tends to forget its presets after being powered off for a while (message on display: "All clear").
Cosmetic condition: Examine photos carefully. Some wear to paint on the top and sides. There is a white line across the top edge of the display lens. There is a faint nick on the tuning knob.
Why sell: Too many tuners, need to slim the collection.
Returns: Only for serious problems with the unit not already described.
