I have just purchased one of the above sets.
Can anyone tell me a bit more about it?

Star was some equipment brought in from Japan in the 1960's. I think this
was a piece of what was called the Star line. QST had a review (say about
1967 or so).

Several of the manual vendors have manual copies.
Sorry but the transceivers that starting coming out in 1969-71 finished off
Star.

Hello,
The Star 600 is not a part of Star line, the Star line is consisted of ST700,
transmitter with pair of 6146's and using Kokusai 2.1 KHZ mechanical filter for
SSB generating, the SR700 is the receiver with triple conversion similar to
Drake 2 B in IF frequency schemeusing LC filters Both looked like somewhat
copy of Collins S line..They were considered one of the best Japanese made
during 1960 era but it is actually dissapointing, I have 2 sets of complete
Star line waiting to be restored. For general information, Star used to make AM
and FM tuner kits for general public, not for hams only for about 10 years
until late 60's and went bankrupt and most of the engineering staff was hired
by Yaesu and Trio ( Kenwood) who eventually developed FL100,FR100 to
FRdx400,FLdx400 then to FT100 to FT101 for Yaesu and TX88 AM transmitter and
9R42,9R59 rcvrs to TS510,TS511,TS520,TS820,TS830, etc. for Trio Kenwood. The
SR600 is the lower priced rcvr with double conversion with LC filters, it is
not a real good receiver, I would say Drake 2B outperforms any of old Star
receiver, SR500,600,700.
Best luck to you.
