Description

Location: Pacific Beach, San Diego Condition: Near mint, fully serviced The Concept 16.5 is widely regarded as the flagship of Pacific Stereo’s in-house brand from the late 1970s. Built to compete with the very best receivers of its time, it delivers 165 watts per channel into 8Ω with exceptional headroom and low distortion. Known for its robust build and excellent tuner section, the 16.5 has become a sought-after piece for serious vintage audio collectors. At 67 lbs, it is one of the heaviest “monster receivers” ever sold. This unit is in near-perfect cosmetic and functional condition. The case, faceplate, and interior are exceptionally clean. It comes with the original shipping and retail boxes! In July 2025, it received a comprehensive service and partial rebuild at OC Vintage Audio to ensure long-term reliability (see attached photo for detailed parts list). Owners Manual, sales brochure, and schematic (copies) included. Service performed includes: — Full calibration to factory specifications — New LED lighting — Power amp board rebuilt — The protection board was rebuilt and recapped — New power transistors — New PLL FM stereo IC, with adjustments — Switches cleaned and lubricated — Complete internal cleaning Power button relay installed for reliability and durability. Audition available with period-correct speakers and turntable in Pacific Beach. No shipping (too heavy).. $2,600 firm for serious buyers. Vu
