Receiver Collectors: Raise Your Hands!!!

Let's see, I mostly collect Sansui solid state and Fisher tube gear, but recently, decided to also add nice models from other manufactures, if they are nice, clean examples. Have many more integrated amps, mono blocks and pre's.

Sansui - 9090 (my fav)
Sansui - QRX-9001
Sansui - G-8700
Sansui - Eight
Sansui - 771
Sansui - 5000x
Sansui - 4000
Sansui - 2000x
Fisher - 500c
Fisher - 500b
Fisher - 400
Fisher - 800t
Marantz - 2275
Yamaha - CR-820

Have sold many others over the years, but the only one I regret selling was the one that got me into the hobby, a mint, beautiful Sansui G-9700.

Have never seen that line from Pilot, really nice looking. Would also love to fine a nice Tandberg, they just don't seem to come up around here very often.

Correction: "don't"

I can't say that I ever heard of Pilot until I found the 254 last month. It's heavy; 42 pounds, 65wpc.
I bought the only Tandbergs I have ever seen:
10XD R-T-R last summer at an estate, and wondered If I'd ever find a matching receiver.
Pure luck to find a TD-2040 this summer at a yard sale with weird looking Tandberg Fasset speakers:

Ok update
Dynaco st-70
Pas-3
Sca-35
Sx-880
Bose 601 series 3s the Bose will probably move along soon but I had to check them out.
I will admit to being a bit off... it does on occasion make the music even better !
I started out nothing and it is becoming increasingly difficult to repeat my signature quote any longer.
So when I get all in its place I will see what might work ..
Nice job Pigboat! I have been back at this as a hobby but it seems to have gotten a bit more involved. I would not be totally truthful if I said that's my list. It's getting a bit out of hand if I do say so. But it's pretty satisfying to decide what's working for desired effect of the moment. I think if it was a had to I would let all go other than dynaco. But... I would be hard pressed to let a single component from that name go. Dave got it right .minor upgrades notwithstanding.

It just started about 2 years ago. Klipsch Quartets $49.99-35% at Goodwill and I was hooked all over again.
Couple days ago a set of Realistic Optimus -9, less than a meal a MD..Adcom 535x2 535IIx2 545IIx2 555x3 5300, 6000,4 pre, Klipsch and more Klipsch
McIntosh MA6100 just got $175 (50 caps to put in it) it goes on. My "Room" looks like that picture of me in the sonar shack, wall to wall(but not 400 feet down)
 
Lets see if I can remember what I've got...
...
JVC JR-S600
...

I'm looking for the EQ knobs for the JR-S600 (maybe other models came with them also, not sure), and the switch for loudness (mine is borked.)
Found one working (and loving the sound it produces on some of my speakers), want to restore it with those knobs, the switch for loudness (ain't working)
and of course the LEDs that will need replacing (plenty are not working). I bought my JR-S600 in the condition it is in now (cleaned with contact cleaner)
for $22.50. Loving it, retro look and quality sound at low and high (1.5 only) volume. I read this amplifier does indeed crank out 100+ watts easily and
needs some very big and maybe even inefficient designed speakers to get the most out of the amp. Have some ADS 1590/2 that I'm considering hooking
up to see where we can go with those tonight... :)

So, if you can help a fella here find the parts to restore this S600 that would be great! Tx.

or the horizontal sliders?
 
Sorry about that, should have provided to you a photo from stock, or from internet to clarify what I'm looking for.
You can see in this photo attachment they are shiny cap covers for the sliders. All 5 of mine are MIA. This
photo was taken from the Internet, mine is also included to show them missing.

Caps in Place from Internet photo:

Caps Missing on my sample (looking to buy, along with push push for 'Loudness' switch which is not holding any more):

Thank you!
 
Hey guys, best to create a new thread in General or something, but not derail this thread for such an off topic subject. Also, when asking for parts, you should really become a subscriber and put your WTB in BarterTown (the area only subscribers can access, among others).
