Now that our Super Moderator, Gary, has gotten me squared away, let's try this again! I found this forum while Googling "Realistic STA-225" and found an excellent write up from member Ron Ramirez, which can be found... HERE
I just began to work on my STA-225 by replacing the original incandescent dial lamps and "Auto Magic" lamp with LEDs, which already caused an issue! More on that later! First, here's some pictures I took of the STA-225 after I unboxed it! A nice heavy vintage receiver! The original lamps still cast a nice glow! When I turned on Auto Magic and touched the tuning knob, it does disconnect. I'll get to my issues soon, but first, thanks for letting me be a new member of your community!
