    Sansui Au-20000/Tu-9900 barn find.. The holy grail exists!

    Yep. That's exactly what it is. And yeah I have the counterweight for it. Just gotta figure out how to hang it. Also, there are no RCA output jacks on it.. I assume it's missing something..

    Rare one. Bet you never saw one of these before!!

    As my sansui inventory continues to grow I'm coming up with some rarities. Like this weird "caught in the middle" piece. We've all seen a 3000a and a 4000 (I have both but am partial to the 3000a) but how bout a 3500?! And not a g-3500 or a qrx-3500 (got one of those too) but just a regular...

    Here's some more pics of that god awful sansui lol Finished product. Honestly it didn't come out as nice as I was hoping, then again it's amazing it came out at all. Biggest thing I had trouble with was the smoke damage. Remember, it was torched in a house fire and then spent 20...

    So about a week ago I ran a craigslist ad in search of old stereo gear, I got a responce from a guy on the other side of town that said he had a old sansui receiver along with some other old stuff leftover from his dad who was into ham radios.
