Sony ST-S 222 ES (1986–1988)
A stereo FM/AM tuner made in Japan during the mid-1980s as part of Sony's ES series.
Overview
The Sony ST-S 222 ES is a stereo FM/AM tuner. Sony built it in Japan from 1986 to 1988. It belongs to the ES (Elevated Standard) series, Sony's line of higher-end audio components at the time. It shares that family with the TA-F 222 ES, TA-F 444 ES and TA-F 555 ES II amplifiers, so it was probably meant to sit in a matched system. The unit is black. It was sold under slightly different model names, including ST-S222ES and ST-S222ESA.

Product Family

Market
Used units have been listed for sale at prices such as EUR 25.00 and USD 24.26, and some were described as working despite cosmetic wear. Official Sony support materials reference a product self-repair manual insert, which suggests repair guidance is hard to come by.
