Works fine and was serviced by a reputable shop in 2021.In near mint condition.Sounds great.A few small imperfections include a loose piece of wood on top of the cabinet, small chipped area of wood on one of the bottom corners, and a small area of tape residue on one of the sides of the cabinet (see photos).
The Sony STR-7065 is a respected early-’70s vintage receiver, but US$1,000 is well above the usual used market for a working example; recent sale and asking data cluster roughly around US$155 to US$400, with nicer or restored pieces sometimes pushing higher, but still typically below this level.
What makes it worth chasing is the combination of 60 watts per channel, strong build quality, and real collector appeal; it’s one of Sony’s better-looking and better-regarded silver-face receivers, and clean original examples do hold value. At this price, though, you’d want proof of a serious restoration, exceptional cosmetics, and complete accessories such as the wood case or documented service work; without that, it reads as an ambitious ask rather than a buy-now deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sony emerged from the ruins of post-World War II Japan, founded on May 7, 1946, by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K. in Tokyo's Nihonbashi district. Starting with radio repairs and Japan's first magnetic tape recorder, the duo secured transistor licensing from Bell Labs, pioneering the TR-55 transistor radio in 1955. Renamed Sony Corporation in 1958—from the Latin "sonus" for sound—the brand symbolized Japan's ascent from cheap imitations to innovative leadership, fueled by Ibuka's engineering prowess and Morita's global marketing vision.
Sony's hi-fi legacy spans headphones, amplifiers, speakers, turntables, and DACs, alongside landmark formats like the Compact Disc in 1982 and Blu-ray. Iconic products include the Walkman for portable audio revolution and Trinitron televisions, blending consumer accessibility with cutting-edge tech. Today, offerings like the Signature Series headphones and ES amplifiers target discerning listeners seeking refined soundstaging and dynamic range.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end powerhouse, Sony commands respect among knowledgeable buyers for blending mass-market reliability with premium performance, outpacing many pure audiophile brands in innovation and value. Far from vintage relic or niche boutique, it dominates with forward-thinking engineering, holding strong market share in headphones and streaming ecosystems.
