Show Me Your Sansui!

A proper portrait.

I almost sold my 9090DB because at some point this hobby should pay me back. After a weekend of listening while offers came in I considered myself an idiot and pulled the ad.

She needs some love but she's mine.

It's one fine classic. I'm partial, because I bought the 8080DB new in 1975 and have loved the sound and aesthetics ever since.

Back in the early 2000's when my son was college shopping, we took the 3 hour drive to Chico to check out the campus (he later got accepted to Cal Poly). I looked on CL the day before and spotted an 8080DB for $65.

It does daily duty in my warehouse.:thumbsup:

The x901 gets the most of my time. Looking for a ampselector (opposite of a speaker selector) ...
Love the 3! Same, same but different.
Au9500
Au D11 mk 2
Au x901 with cd-x701

Oh and recently picked up some lm220, quite good.
And not dissimilar to jbl L36 or L40, the tweeter is more open though, but not beaming
The one with the wood panels is sexxxy :)
 
This guy introduced me to Sansui and now I’m hooked. It’s outperformed several other 70’s receivers I’ve had from other brands, so I’ve decided to move up the Sansui chain.

I have a re-capped au-101 as well, superb lil performer, such an un-fatiguing sound.
Hard to let go of it even though I have bigger/later model Sui...
 
I have shown my 2000X before. This morning I purchased a kit to transfer videotape to my computer. Soon I will be showing y'all a rare 1978 Sansui TV ad featuring The Nightbird Alison Steele. Stay tuned!
 
Hey @onepixel

How you been? I’ve only the one sansui in the mix.

Sansui Eight (non delux)

I just shipped it out yesterday for a full recap/rebuild. I’ve got all the new stickers as well. The body is in great cond., it should be a good looking unit once I get it back. :) it’s in good hands and I’m excited to get worked on. It’s being done by a fellow member who’s got some prolific skills. I’m beyond excited lol
 
I have a 1963 Model 500. The good thing is it looks like it has never been touched.
Bad news is it looks like it has never been touched. More than a few have told me DO NOT power it up, because of all the oil/paper caps are probably dried out and will mess it up. So for now it is just for looking at. I have to find a place that will service, and replace all those old caps.
Oh, and I know one tube is missing from it(I was having the tubes tested when I took the picture)
