SM-90
Commentary

A high output FM/AM receiver that also supports FM stereo.

Four 25E5 high-gm tubes are used for the power amplifier tube, and the maximum output power of 40W + 40W was achieved by the receiver at that time.

Four transistors are used in the preamplifier section to eliminate the influence of hum and noise.
The fixed bias method also reduces distortion.

The power supply and output transformer use an Orient Core to achieve broadband characteristics from 10 hz to 70 khz.
A silicon diode is used for the power supply rectification circuit to improve the power supply regulation.

Built-in FM multi-stereo adapter circuit allows one touch reception of FM stereo broadcast transmission.

It is equipped with various functions such as high / low filter, loudness and presence, tone control, FM-AFC and tape monitor circuit.

It has a headphone port.
