Description:

For sale here is a super-rare Sony SQA-100 surround decoder amp for Sony's classic 70s "88" system. These would be used with the TA-88 to drive two pairs of SS-5088 speakers for a quad-channel setup. This is in original packaging, and it's very rare indeed to see these come up in their original boxes. I can supply a digital copy of the user manual to the buyer. Untested as I don't have a 4-channel source nor can I see how to hook up speakers to it. I can ship these safely packed worldwide. Any questions please feel free to ask me. Sony

Buying tips

Before you buy, check that the key specs match your needs (compatibility, size/fit, and any included accessories). Also confirm the seller’s returns policy and the delivery estimate. It’s worth comparing more than just price: condition, included parts, warranty/returns, and delivery costs can change the overall value. If you’re unsure, prioritise listings with clear photos and complete specifics. To avoid surprises, confirm model/variant details and look for accurate photos. If you’re buying used, pay attention to wear, working status, and what’s included in the box.

Price notes

Prices can vary based on condition, completeness (box/accessories), and seller location. Compare multiple listings to get a realistic range before deciding. The best value usually comes from the right mix of condition and total cost (item price + delivery). Check if the listing includes essential accessories to avoid extra spend. If you see big price differences, it’s often down to condition, extras, or shipping. Compare similar-spec listings rather than only the cheapest result.

Condition notes

Condition matters a lot for resale and reliability. Make sure the listing photos and description match the stated condition, and double-check any notes about faults or cosmetic wear. For used items, look for clear evidence of working status and any included accessories. If the condition is unclear, consider messaging the seller before purchase. If the item is listed as refurbished or pre-owned, verify what “refurbished” means for that seller (tested, repaired, cleaned) and whether returns are offered.
