    My first QS-500 project

    This week I started on a really beaten-up Sansui QS-500. I bought it without the wood case, and covered in dust. Since I had no idea in what "electrical" state it was, I hooked it up on my Variac and Dim Bulb Current Limiter. And YES, it was still working, sound came out the speakers I...

    I recently acquired an excellent condition Sansui Eight and was very excited to fire it up once I finally found a power cord after hearing all the rave about how great this receiver is.
