The mono-block Lepin provides 25 W speaker output in Class A. A front-plate switchable REC OUT allows it to be used as a pre-amplifier. Solid-state power rectification. Generous inputs include 2 x phono, both appear to be moving magnet. The interior of the chassis is well laid out but very crowded.

The image used in Shindos' 1990-91 advertising seems to be of older units: Note the lack of the Swan logo present on most Shindo products post 1987.  This may indicate they still had units in stock from years earlier, a sign that they had not sold well.

Note that the gold-plated RCA pin jacks in the images appear to be a user modification.
