The Optimus STAV-3170 is a full-size stereo receiver from RadioShack’s Optimus line, designed as a straightforward two-channel component for traditional hi-fi systems. It combines amplification, AM/FM tuning, and multiple input options into a single unit, allowing speakers and source components to be managed through one receiver. This example stands out for its overall condition and presentation. The unit is exceptionally clean, including internally, with a level of care that’s immediately apparent. The faceplate presents nearly like new to the naked eye, seemingly free of visible scuffs or scratches, and retains the crisp, well-defined look these receivers are known for.

The design leans into that classic busy, button-forward retro aesthetic, with a full array of controls and a bright, clear display that gives the unit strong visual presence when powered on. It’s the kind of receiver that fits naturally into a setup where the look of the equipment matters just as much as its function.

Collector’s / Buyer’s Note

While the Optimus name is often overlooked, examples like this stand on presentation alone. The clean faceplate, bright display, and classic control layout give it the kind of visual appeal that works especially well in retro-inspired setups where the equipment itself is part of the experience.
