I found this site while searching for info on this unit I just picked up. I am just getting into older gear after scoring a pair of RTR Series IV speakers. I was blown away by their sound and it was suggested I find a receiver from the same era to power them. Long story short I start searcing the local thrift shops and come up with this unit.
Surfing the net has yielded me pretty much nothing other than Orion Bluebook says these units were about $500 in their day and were manufactured between 77-82. The serial # 1171 would seem to me to indicate this unit would have been made fairly early on but since I can't find anything out on Gladding I have no baseline. Thought I post a few pictures here and see if this rings any bells with the Quad community.
I appreciate any help anyone can give. I will probably have more questions as I start using it but for now just learning a little about its bloodlines/specs would be very helpful.
