Lost one - got a jackpot!!
First the very bad news! ity:
After a couple of days serious thinking I decided to give the AU-20000 a new nice home in my "vintage-den"
in the basement (and even got the needed Ok from the wife) I contacted the seller (who at our first contact
promised that the amplifier was reserved for me) just to be informed that he allready sold it.
Then on to the good news! :yippy:
Later that same evening I was contacted by the person that sold me part of his Sansui collection last year
(AU-7500*2, TU-7500*2, AU-9500, TU-9500, AU-999, AU-555, AU-555a and an AU-11000).
He wanted to know if I was intersted in buying some Sansui's that a fellow collector wanted to sell due to
lack of space when moving from his house to a small apartment. The offer were to good to refuse and the
coming week I'm going to drive the 900km needed to pick up all the new "family members":
Sansui SE-7
Sansui AU-517, Sansui TU-517
Sansui AU-717
Sansui AU-719, Sansui TU-719
Sansui BA-F1, Sansui CA-F1
Sansui AU-X901
They are all in mint or near mint condition, all are working except AU-717, TU-719 and the BA-F1.
All are original inside (never been repaired or tampered with) so I'm really prepared for a long cold winter
with a lot of recapping & restoration to be done.
The Mouser orders will certainly cost me a small fortune but I see all the money, work and all the hours
that that I'm putting into these "musical instruments" as an investment.
Right now I'm in Sansui heaven!!
