Sansui Rack Handles

[Zolton]

I'm trying to get my hands on some rack handles for a TU-717 or TU-517 to match my AU-717. They are available out there but mighty expensive.
I've noticed a Sansui SC-1330 cassette deck with rack handles available in my area. Anyone know if these are the same handles?

While they may be the same size, they are probably plastic.

Yes they are plastic, but you would be hard pushed to tell, they are pretty solid.:thmbsp:

Yes, I have a pair. I bought some stuff from a guy once and he had the handles, but the tape deck was long gone.

Were the handles an option or did those tape decks come with them?

Wasn't there some 'sui rack handles FS in bartertown?

Yes, but I believe those were snapped up quickly.

I understand there are different size Sansui rack handles as well. Anyone know which size the AU/TU-717 uses?

Edit; oops...I think I just repeated my original question.

According to the guy I bought some gear from, the handles came with the deck.

I have an AU-517 with metal rack handles. I also have a pair of plastic Sansui rack handles which someone sold me claiming they fit the AU/Tu series. But they don't.

There were at least three sizes- the small that fit the 117/217/317 series and the AX-7 and other low profile optional kit, the size that fits the 417/517/717/719/917 and certain cassette decks, and at least one other size that isn't quite either- somewhere in the middle.

It's very possible there could be an additional two more sizes as well.

Your best bet is to measure the distance of the holes on the side of your 517/717, and when you see 'em on eBay, email the seller and ask the seller to measure the holes for you.

I have a SC-3330 with box and everything. It has never been used packaged handles. Don't remember if they were metal or plastic.

I just checked my handles. The plastic ones are a bit smaller, but the holes are farther apart.

The plastic ones will fit my SE-7, but not the AU/TU-719.

But they fit the AU/TU-717.
