Watts - Volts and Resistance

Hi,

I got a Fisher 514 Receiver for next to nothing, it's those Quad type of receivers. I haven't been able to get any ''free'' info on the net about it, I would only want to know how mant WPC this monster delivers.
This is what I read in the back of the unit:

535 watts / 675 VA / 4 ohm Max.

Can somebody tell me the max power output with and 8 ohm load ?

Thanks,
foxtrot

Thanks for the replies.
I hokked up the receiver(I think it was made in 1976), and beleive me that I'm sure it delivers a lot moer than 20 or 30 wpc. I'm driving a pair of 3 way floorstanders that play loud and I can't get past 40 % of the volume, it's just too loud.
It sounds quite nice for an old receiver !!!

I got this piece for 10 bucks what harm could it make, and it looks as if it's just got out of the factory.
I just hooked it up to a spare pair of sepakers I have, it's not intended for critical listening or anything like it, I think it's future is more decorative than musical. An yes, I can use only two channels if I want to.
