Hi!

I hope someone here can help me out, I'm trying to find some info on my old
Reciever to see what wattage it puts out and what speakers it can handle
etc, but it's so ancient I ahven't been able to find any. Hopefully someone
here can help me. It's a:
"Technics FM/AM Stereo Reciever SA-200K"


Nearest I can find is the 1980 SA202L, which would handle any
reasonable speaker load, and put out the following power (figures are
actual measurements by HiFi Choice):

Continuous at 1kHz, 0.1% distortion
8 ohms - 43 watts
4 ohms - 48 watts
2 ohms - 47 watts

Toneburst at 1kHz
8 ohms - 57
4 ohms - 73
2 ohms - 47

Power bandwidth was 11Hz to 83kHz

As you can see from the above, not a lot of spare current in the power
supply, but a respectable performance for its day, and at least
capable of driving even a 2-ohm load without instability, although the
unit was subjectively marked down for a rough top end and coloured
midrange.
