ATOT Help Needed: Stereo Receiver Identification?

A co-worker is selling this setup for $250 on our work forums:

Stereo Receiver
60 Disc Changer
Dual Tape Head
Speakers

See Pics:
Stereo
Stereo 1 - this is the one I'm trying to read the model number in
Stereo 2

I need help identifying the receiver because I can't seem to read the model number. It looks like SA-Q90, SA-Q9O, SA-O90, or something like that, but I can't seem to find any Technics site that have any information similar to a model like that.

I've asked him to bring in model numbers tomorrow, but would rather just go ahead and buy or tell him I'm no longer interested today if possible.

Is this setup worth $250? I want surround sound in my living room but don't really have the money to spend right now. Plus, I wouldn't mind having a 60 disc changer even though I mainly listen to music through my computer routed to my stereo in the office.

Any help here?

Cliffs:

-Click on Pictures
-Tell me if gear is worth $250 for surround sound on a budget
-Help identify model number of receiver so I can research it online
 
SA 090 I'd say, but I can't find anything online either.

I imagine that it would be worth it for 250 bucks. That 60disc changer would probably be around 100-200 alone for a comparable one today.

Looks virtually identical.

Edit: My guess is that he bought it as one of those HTIBs. That would explain why none of us can find that model number on the net. (Onkyo changes the model number on their HTIB receivers too, even though a lot of them have identical non-htib counterparts).

Also..the speakers are probably not very good...but if you have nothing at all, well, that isn't a horrible deal.
 
I say Technics also, but that's a subsidiary of Panasonic. They used to have really low harmonic distortion, even in their lower end units.
