Hi. I have a Sansui 3500 tuner /amp. I have searched the web for this model and have not see it listed anywhere. Is it an oddball? Thanks. Jim

There were a number of components utilizing 3500 in their nomenclature, mainly receivers and speakers, no amps that I know of.

3500 Receiver 1969 – 1970
G-3500 Receiver 1978 – 1979
QRX-3500 Quad Receiver 1973 – 1975
RZ-3500 Receiver 1990 – 1991
RZ-3500 II Receiver 1992 – 1993

Regards,
TB

Thanks TB. This one is just a plain 3500 Solid-State AM/FM Stereo Tuner Amplifier.

You must be referring to the 3500 Receiver from '69 I had mentioned. It's just the terminology, as an AM/FM Stereo Tuner Amplifier can also be referred to as a Receiver.

Similiar to the 4000, which came next.

I realize that this thread is a couple of years old, but....
I picked up one of these from a guy a few months ago and it is currently in use as my main receiver. Just thought I would share that...

It definitely sounds good to my ears (and that is what matters!) I swapped out a Marantz 2245 and put this Sansui in my main stereo. My Sansui 3500 also has the wood case but I have seen a picture of one without the case on it.
Does anyone have the specs for this model handy?
Thanks!

Here is my current setup:
Dual 1019-->Sansui 3500-->"A" Speakers Custom Fuselier's/ "B" Speakers are DCM CX-17. I use PS1 (playstation) for CDs and Pioneer CT-F8282 for the occasional cassette.

Look at the Ad again. He Sold it in 2011

Manual, brochure, and a boatload of service bulletins HERE. Type in 3500 in Search block. No affiliation. Satisfied customer over the years. Very good prices compared to Eprey.

Hi! Anyone could reupload the manual and brochure of the 3500? There is not much information out there.
