A few Sansui accessories

Price list of Sansui gear in 20th August 1977 from a store called Tempofoon, in the city of Tilburg...

Note that an AU-317 cost f. 929,- Dutch guilders, which would be something like 440,- euros today, if I'm not wrong...

TOTL gear AU-20000, CA-3000, BA-5000, etc, also listed... :)

With inflation this would be 1045,- Euro nowadays (according to one of the "what-is-the-cost-now" sites on the net).
So if you now buy an old AU-317 for e.g. 100 Euro and have it serviced/recaped for another 200 Euro, you get a great amp for just 1/3 of the actual price.:idea:

To go back on topic: The T-shirts in your attached picture seem to be Sansui!

Have fun

In June of 1978 the yen/dollar exchange rate was about 220 yen to the US dollar. It had risen from a low of 177 Y/D in December of 1978. Here's a link to a historical exchange rate calculator.

Sansui made equipment. I don't have any idea what the top one and the 4th and 5th one on the bottom (L to R) are.
