Well, I'd wonder if there is a battery compartment on the unit
anywhere. Not trying to be disrespectful or anything, just saying that
a lot of older equipment used conventional batteries (AA/AAA cells) to
keep the memory running.

I have a Pioneer SX-5 stereo receiver that uses two AA batteries.
Lifetime seems to be around a year or so.

hillarious. I was just about to mention that stereo when AA
batteries were mentioned.

do you know what the weird "AM stereo" RCA jack on the back is for?


It was for an AM stereo decoder.


Ayup.

Does anyone still broadcast AM stereo? How great an idea was *that*?




Don't some AM stations broadcast in digital stereo? I read somewhere that
the recent digital tuners do both AM and FM digital.
