Info on old reciever?

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"

TIA
Best Wishes

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.

Yeah. I bought it second hand cheap from a friend about 18 years ago and it
has served me well since then, it's starting to give up the ghost now
though.
While talking about it, I know nada about hifi I must admit, but what watt
range speakers would you reccomend for a reciever like this? (min/max) (need
to get two new pairs)

In UK, around late 70's-early 80's, we had a model called an SA200L, which
also had Long wave as well as FM/MW.

Output power was about 20 watts per channel.

They also made the SA300, SA400, SA600 (and other) models as well, each with
correspondingly higher output powers.
