I bought an almost pristine example of a Sansui 221 today from the original owner. I got it off of Ebay because it was local and available with free pick-up. I've always wanted one of these baby Sansui receivers for reasons I can't fully explain. Works great, and not even a scratch on it, was told it's been in storage for over 20 years, and I am happy with my purchase.
The big surprise for me was when the lady told me she paid about $300 for it when she bought it new in 1975. The inflation calculator I found tells me that is worth $1,371.02 in today's money! For a 10 watt per channel receiver!
I realize/am reminded that these old receivers we seek out for build/sound quality were not cheap.
