Sansui G-8700DB 160 watt receiver from the late 70s. Not the oldest, but a major favorite. I got it at a thrift store in the early 00s. Absolute unit, probably 25 kilos. The connectors are all on the side because the heat sink takes up the whole rear panel. Every switch, circuit and light bulb works perfectly.
It's hooked up to my computer via a nothing-fancy DAC and out to a pair of tidy Linn bookshelf speakers, probably 80s vintage. If this office over the garage is rockin', don't bother knockin'.
Here's a photo (not my one, but the same) - https://external-preview.redd.it/LjSphe7ctrkecpkmC_r97bMzzggg2T8BXQWCze_ok1k.jpg?auto=webp&s=f3ed700d0c41dbac67d36d927d34a54fb12a69a1 https://external-preview.redd.it/LjSphe7ctrkecpkmC_r97bMzzgg...
- fl0wenol 6y agoAh missed the last bit, because I was going to complement you on how gorgeous it looked; kept in great shape!
- generatorguy 6y agoGorgeous!! I have a Sansui g-2000 that I love. It takes 30s to power up but I just keep it on.
- distances 6y agoI don't want to be a downer, and that in parent's link sure is a beautiful unit, but have you checked what the always-on electricity consumption is for the device?
- mark-r 6y agoI had a Technics SA-400 from about the same time period, but I sold it on a couple of years ago. Still working great according to the guy I sold it to.
