Just read through all the posts here, I did some research on the 7000 since one is for sale here locally. This model was sold overseas-europe and asia, military bases as you noted. One of the big differences at the front is the Eight's do not have a Mic control as the 7000 does, that's where the Volume control is on the Eight. Replacing the Volume control spot, is the middle tone control for the Eight. I have an Eight in for repairs, recap, fixing the right output channel, so I hope it will return strong and true to the name "Sansui".

May I suggest you start a thread for this question, adding to a thread this old that may not get read by folks that know the answer to your problem and won't help you.

I don't think there would be much sound difference between the two. As far as which was the top of the line, that probably depended on which one the store stocked.

I've had both and would totally agree w/LBPete. While they are superb receivers I personally could not tell a difference in their delivery. Both of mine had a strong AM/FM reception, but lack a little in the phono section. With their 80/70 WPC you could not ask more for pushing a stubborn set of speakers, and do it well.

Ok, sorry to drag this thread up again but I have recently acquired another Sansui 7000, so now I have two of these beasts 
Got it from a potential customer who didn't want to get it fixed and was going to dump the thing so I made him an offer.
This one is not in as good condition as my first one, the cabinet top is scratched and marked, front panel top surface is the same, does need some caps/transistors replacing, but its all there and does work to a degree so will be a nice little project.
None of the dial lamps are blown which is a bonus. This 7000 was made in August of 1971. 221080484
The build quality of these single digit Sansui's always impresses me. :yes:
Just thought I'd mention about this new addition in passing...Will get the serial number added to the database.
Cheers

Thanks Kevin, this might be one I do at work and then use it in my test/setup rig as its got a tuner which is handy for a constant audio source when feeding an input into another amplifier...
Anybody out there got a service manual for this beast they wouldn't mind sharing a copy with?
Cheers
