Uncommon Sansui Model 500 AM-FM Stereo Tube Receiver. I recently acquired this unit from its long term owner. It looks very nice and shows only moderate wear as can be seen in the images. It generally looks to be all original but has had new coupling capacitors and two filter capacitors replaced. Presently, it sounds very good but has a channel imbalance and distortion at a high volume level. No doubt it needs the balance of the caps replaced as many of these small value oil caps are n...otorious for being leaky. I briefly tested the FM and it sounded very good as did the Aux input. AS you can see, the AM antenna is broken at the mounting bracket. The eye tube is nice and bright. It will make someone a rewarding project after restoration. Buyer pays $40 shipping in CONUS.
