Presented here is a pre-owned Sansui Model 8 AM/FM Stereo Receiver in good functional and clean aesthetic shape (original enclosure cover missing though). This vintage receiver was pulled out from a console cabinet in estate sale but the receiver wooden cover is missing. One owner throughout, this unit of receiver has stayed in the console cabinet for many years. We have conducted some basic run-through blushing off the dust, deoxit all the required pots and switches and this super duper receiver is now ready to serve. While bench checking, I realized how good the sounding of this receiver was. The sound is so intimate that I could listen to music track after track, DJ voice from the FM was so lifelike and pleasing to ears. I listen to vintage stereo often and I know this is a great piece to keep.

For full disclosure, be mindful to the following caveats
(1) This is the very first version of Sansui 8 in 1971 and there was no speaker relay feature built in. As such, they would be some trace of little noise for a few seconds when the receiver is powered on or off. Speaker on / off switch however could still be used to go around this if required. From audio purist standpoint, some audiophiles prefer it straight through without the add-on of relay protection circuit.
(2) The tuner dial-pointer lighting bulb is burnt out
(3) A metal case cover is now used to hold the receiver to protect its physical wellness and it is still presentable. In case you are on the look-out for a possible wooden sleeve - Dimensions of the fitting slot would be 17" x 5.5" x 12.5"
