I have this SATO device, looks to be for turntable preamp/RIAA I would guess
and it needs a little repair work but I cant find info on it online - any
ideas? SATO Industries Made in USA is the full name on the cylinder.

It's a pre-preamplifier. It supplies about 20 dB of gain to allow you to
use a low output moving coil cartridge with preamp that has only a moving
magnet input.

It has no RIAA de-emphasis and it has a fairly low impedance input, lower
than would be optimal for a MM cartridge.

What makes you think it needs repair?
