Nope, 'tis not me, looks like its another Sansui enthusiast named Fred out there

Interesting how there does seem to be a bunch of G-9K's on Ebay lately.

As for the one I bought, here's an Update to the updated Update I had previously posted:

Bought the contact cleaner from MCM. I didnt realize it until I placed the order, but they charge a $25 minimum order fee. I didnt need 4 cans of the stuff, so I paid the fee. Their shipping price on one can was a bit exorbitant, so one can of cleaner turns out to cost almost $20. Anyway, I used the cleaner on the switches, and though it helped somewhat, every now & then the noise reoccurs. Well, as it turns out, I decided to acquire another G9K from an AK member who had one available that was checked out by E.W., and I located a buyer for the other one, which will be headed to Moscow- yep, thats right, the USSR. The buyer has contacts who work for Aeroflot, so I can bring the G9K to the buyers's courier directly when I meet him at JFK Airport, which I am arranging for sometime next week.

I received the other G9K yesterday. (by the way Paul, if youre reading this, its an April '78 unit: 818040598)

To my delight, the switches are noise-free on this G9K, so I can listen to music w/o all that friggin' crackling that was driving me nuts on the other one. (by the way, my latest cd of choice is Paul Simon's, 'There Goes Rhymin' Simon', 1973, which was recently remastered for excellent sound quality- highly recommended).

The G-9000 is one damn good sounding receiver, thats for sure. Certainly makes the 9090DB look small in comparison. (though note I said LOOK small, didnt say it made the 9090DB SOUND small- for all of you 9090 enthusiasts out there.) Ive already written about my various preferences for each Line in previous posts, but one thing I would add which I mightve forgotten was that I feel the G9K should take a que from the 9090DB and use real wood, not fake wood vinyl, well, I think atleast the upper model G's shouldve had real wood bonnets.

Of course I'm reading it, Fred and that G-9000 is already registered. We have history!

Fred, I thought I told you they had a $25 minimum. They sell alot of useful stuff, so it shouldn't be too hard to find enough to make up the minimum.
Really nice speaker wire, Soundking, suspiciously similar to Monster Cable, but at $.30 a foot for a 100ft roll of 12 ga.
A useful test CD with lots of test tones, pink noise, sweeps, etc.
All kinds of electronic parts, books, tools.

Also, remember, I told you to use the cleaner first, then follow with De-Oxit. This cleaner removes everything, I mean everything, and leaves no protective residue. The De-Oxit contains the preservative. Also I think the De-Oxit removes whatever the cleaner doesn't get. I'd shoot it with the cleaner again to remove any oxidation that has occured, and then use De-Oxit.
If at first you don't succeed, keep on suckin' till you do succeed.
