It looks very much like my CTC16 combo. As sampson159 said, the amplifier is solid state, and the sound system is independent from the TV's audio section. The selector does not allow the TV to be on at the same time as the stereo system. If I had owned my unit in the early days of music videos (1982-85), I would have modified it to allow simultaneous use. The NBC network had a TV show called Friday Night Videos, with stereo sound on a local FM radio station. These combos would have been great for videos with nice stereo audio, all in one "box".
