Picked up a G5700 Receiver today: What a beaut!!

[sealy]

I actually traded a Dual 606 turntable for this pristine example of a Sansui G5700. It's been a long time since I last had a vintage receiver of this quality, back in the '70's as far as I can recollect. I think it was a great deal, but the guy seemed happy with the turntable, so we're both happy.

Congrats! I snagged its little brother, the G-4700 last night, but mine needs output trannys. How does it sound?

I've got a 5700 I rescued from the trash. I love it. It has served duty in the garage the shop and then the bedroom. It is taking a break now but will get rotated back in somewhere. Enjoy.

Pretty darn good! I tried some comparisons with my other Sansui set-up of relatively the same genre, same type of dc servo amplifier - a T-80 tuner and an A-80 amp. I'd give the edge to the 5700. It has a bit more power and it looks so darn good. It also looks virtually new, inside and out. Must have been stored for a long time. A bit dusty and that's all. Lucky me!

nice sealy! I have one and if the tranny is original in mine, it's gotta be one of the biggest I ever seen in a 75watter!!
