10,000,000
CUSTOMERS
In choosing this fine Realistic product you have demon strated a rather acute
awareness of the good old American cu stom called "getting the most for your
money". With Realistic this
is
not an idle boast.
The
"line"
was born in Boston, long famous for Yankee ingenuity-and
thrift
.
Its
original intent was to bridg
e
a gap between $100 equipment and $25 equip-
ment where, at the time, there was a real void in hi -fi merchandise.
Early
products
were a $39.95 FM
tuner, a
$29.95
preamp/amplifier,
a $19.95
speaker. Soon we
found
ourselves a
unique niche as
manufacturing
retailers.
Capacity
and
abiIity
grew
simu Itaneously.
Soon Realistic hi-fi
products-
loudspeakers, receivers, tape decks,
even
table
radios-began receiving critical
acclaim for
faultless
performance
as
well
as
value.
Dealers
and
franchises
from
all over
the
world began requesting
a Realistic franchise.
Today you can shop
The Nationwide
Supermarket of Sound with
the confidence
that
you're
getting
the widest
selection of quality hi-fi equipment
available
anywhere-whether
you're
looking at budget-priced extension
speakers
or
true
audiophile amplifiers, tuners and
receivers.

What We
Sell
Your new
REALISTIC
TM-1001
is a solid-state
high-sensitivity AM-FM Stereo
Tuner, with
unique features and
modern styling.
It has the
solid
look
and feel
of high-quality
professional equipment.
Normally,
you'd expect to have to
pay far
more
for
this kind
of stereo component-but
that's
what Radio Shack's
all about-giving
you more for your money. And
,
you even get
a
luxuriously
finished real wood cabinet-at
no extra cost!
The
four-gang
FM front-end section utilizes a state-of-the-art device, called a
"dual-gate
Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor
Field
Effec
t
Transistor".
Engineers
shorten this mouthful to MOSFET (or IGFET for
"insulated
gate"
FET).
What
it
means
to you is
that your
Tuner
has
extra-h igh
sensitivity,
combined with
exceptionally
low
noise and an unusual immunity
to d istortion
caused by
electrical interference at these high
frequencies and
minute signal
levels.
Maybe
that's a little too "technical" for you-but
it's
all
solid
up-to-the-minute
engineer-
ing
technology.
The AM circuitry
is specifically
designed
for wide-band-width
response. This
means that you get the m aximum sound fidelity of which AM broadcast technol-
ogy
is capable.
