2017 Sansui Serial Number Database

May as well finally bite...

Hi Pete. The 222 is mine, but the 350 is my father's which I'm currently repairing for him. My Dad received his 350 as a wedding present from my uncle, just before I was born in 1967! This 350 has seen some very happy times, music, and but the very radio amp used to record the BBC's Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (yes, likely illegally) back in 1979 to send to the Canadian Broadcasting Company, so the CBC didn't have to use the record, the BBC sent instead. So it's got some real history to it, and undoubtedly helped make Douglas Adams extremely famous in Canada/USA!

Both models as far as I can tell are Japanese and not European-made, as is being discussed elsewhere on the forum.

Thanks Tom, always nice to hear from an original owner.

Wow ,$1750 for an G-8000 march 1979

That's the equivalent of over $6,200 2021 dollars. The invoice has a DBX 128 processor along with the G-8000. Not sure how that enormous bill breaks down between the two units.

A brand new AU-111 price is not that expensive compare to AU-777. fast forward to present, the price different for a used au-111 and au-777 is enormous.

At that time the AU-777 was using very new transistor technology. The AU-111 was the pinnacle of tube amp design but fading technology at the time.

G-33000 receipt date 27 oct 1979

 

[LBPete]

I've seen that G-33000 receipt before. It was with an eBay auction a couple years ago. Those might be Canadian dollars. The 690 is indeed rare, this is the first on in the database. What country is it in?

- Pete

Interesting that the 690 is in Vietnam. My first thought was it was left behind by a US serviceman. It's a general export model built in October '76 well over a year after the US pull out. Could Sansui still have distribution there after the war ended?

if you check my 2017 Sansui Serial Number Database posting, those gear found on youtube 99% from vietnam, some of them condition is near mint. I don't know if Sansui got distribution right after the war, but they do have large selection of Sansui gear from pre/post war .
