£62 is strong value for this little Onkyo if it’s working cleanly; a reasonable enthusiast benchmark puts it around £80–£100, with good examples often trading below the level where they start to feel expensive. At this price, it reads as a bargain rather than a stretch, especially for a compact integrated unit with proper receiver duties and enough output to be genuinely useful in a small room.
What makes it worth a look is the WRAT-era Onkyo sound: these are known for a lively, punchy presentation, solid FM performance, and a compact footprint that still feels more substantial than a lot of mini systems. If the listing includes the original remote and the front panel, that adds real value; just make sure the CD tray, display, and buttons behave properly, because age-related wear is the main thing that can turn a cheap buy into a nuisance.

Onkyo traces its roots to postwar Japan, founded in 1946 in Osaka by Takeshi Goda, an engineer at Matsushita Electric who envisioned high-quality Japanese loudspeakers. Initially established as Osaka Denki Onkyo K.K., the company began production in 1948 with the acclaimed ED-100 speaker featuring a 25 cm driver, quickly building a reputation through LP concerts and innovative designs that resonated with audiophiles.
The brand excels in premium home audio, renowned for AV receivers, hi-fi amplifiers, and surround sound speakers that deliver exceptional clarity and power. Its portfolio spans turntables, DACs, headphones, and cables, bolstered by acquisitions like Pioneer's home electronics division in 2015, enabling cutting-edge integrations such as internet radio and high-resolution streaming.
Onkyo holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, prized by discerning buyers for reliable performance and value rather than ultra-high-end exotica. Despite bankruptcy challenges in the late 2010s, its revival under new ownership preserves a legacy of technological innovation and pure sound enjoyment, appealing to both vintage enthusiasts and modern home cinema setups.
