Yeah, that looks pretty rough, at least cosmetically. And, yes, it's an early version, original or maybe Mk II. You may be looking for knobs for quite a while! BTW, the two controls on the left perform two functions each. The outer ring (which you have) is a selector. The inner control shafts (the knobs are missing), control the volume and balance, respectively.

My musique concrète mentor (Rainer Boesch) had two of the ones with detachable speakers. I don't know if the power amps were in the tape deck, or if they were in the speaker boxes.

I've never seen a remote control for an A77. Maybe it was a planned accessory which never was made, or maybe it's out there somewhere. All I know is: Don't lose that dummy plug!

If you keep bugging me, I'll get around to photographing the 1973 A77 brochure.
