It's a little low on the G series totem pole. There were three G series, the G-X000, G-X500 and G-X700. Actually, I think it's the smallest of the G-X500 series. The best build quality is the G-X000.
If you can get it cheap enough and don't have to put any money in it, it's probably going to be an ok starter. If you are looking for something with a bit of umph, save your money and wait for something better.

I have just got myself a G-4500 and it sounds great, however i have not had much in the way of Sansui.

G 4700
I recently picked up a little G4700, I am having it recapped and havent even tested it yet but saw this thread and found it interesting. What are the differences between the x500, x700 and x000? which was first? last? desirable traits? undesiarable? IKnow the 22000 and 33000 and the king of the pile, but often see G9000, G9700 and wonder which is better?

While working in Saudi Arabia, my parents bought a G-3500 at the souk in Abqaiq in 1979 - and have enjoyed it ever since. Fortunately when they went to buy, there happened to be a couple of guys (also from the U.S.) that were audiophiles and helped them get a good setup, with the G-3500 being the main component.
They also still have the Akai bookshelf speakers that they got that day but the Sanyo tape player is long gone. Didn't realize until much later what a good piece of equipment it was, and that it could have easily been fixed.
I had the Sansui restored for them by one of the AK forum members and it's good for another 30+ years. So I think you have a receiver that you'll enjoy for a long time!
