AST-140T
Commentary

An FM/AM receiver equipped with a slide-type graphic control volume, etc.

The power amplifier section uses a quasi complimentary service ITL and OTL circuit.
The equalizer amplifier is also connected directly to the amplifier, and the noise quality is improved by is improved by removing all the resistors and capacitors between the transformer and amplifier stages from the inlet to the outlet of the amplifier.

NF type is used for tone control.
It also has an SEA controller connection terminal, making it possible to connect SEA devices and develop into a multi-channel amplifier.

The FM tuner uses a switching method in the multiplex section to improve separation.
It is also equipped with a changeover switch and one touch AFC to control the input of radio waves in weak electric field and strong electric field.

Built-in filter of 30 Hz or less and 30 kHz or more.
