Sansui in the US

My father bought his Sansui AU-999 at a PX in Italy in the early '70s. Not sure if it has any special stickers indicating its origins, but it does have a voltage selector switch on the back, under a cover. For some reason, he opted to buy a Kenwood KT-2001 tuner instead of the matching TU-999, and also got Kenwood KL-5080 speakers to go with it.

I don't know its origins, but my 1964 Sansui AU-70 probably also made its way here via a military exchange of some sort. An early version, it has the round voltage selector plug-in on top of the chassis instead of the rectangular style typically seen later on. Here are some pictures of the unit:

That is what I did, sometime around November of 84 during my second WesPac. Picked out a Sansui system at the NAVY Exchange Subic Bay Phillipines . Went to the first counter and paid, then to the next counter where they delivered the pieces and they were kind enough to roll it all to the 3rd counter where I paid to put shipping labels on them. Got a letter form home a few weeks later that some big heavy packages were there for me.
