Sansui TU 717

[Fishoz]

Anyone have anything to say about the Sansui TU 717 Tuner? Been wanting one for awhile - one showed up local for reasonable $ and considering. Always heard good things, just want to know if anyone has first hand knowledge to encourage or shoot it down?

How much?

 

[Fishoz]

Listed at $175 & ship but I'm local. He pulled from Ebay but didnt sell so I sent a message.

I'm running one right now. It's the only piece besides my TT that has been in the system for ages. They are GREAT tuners. $175 is excellent price.

Let's see if I get a response from him.......

 

[Fishoz]

Think I gotta do it...he still has it, only asking $150.

Unfortunately all out of mad money.....meaning the wife will have to know about it!!

 

[laatsch55]

Get it.

If not I will...

I sold my Sansui TU-717 for $350 CAD a couple of years ago on consignment sale at Innovative Audio. A few unique features on it and good reception. I liked the tonal quality of the audio and for anyone who is looking to set up a matched Sansui system, this is one of the best bang-for-the-buck tuners that has the classic Sansui looks.

Hell yeah.... I got about 4-5 sets of LED lamps for mine since I change lighting every time I build an amp for the house. They are sweet tuners. Mine has a ding so I am always looking for a replacement panel.

 

[Fishoz]

Told him I’ll take it. Waiting to hear back. Should be good....

I always liked the white dial on the black face look of these.
