SANSUI G-8000 STEREO RECEIVER 110/120/220/240V Introduction
AUDIOPHILE'S DREAM COME TRUE, BETTER THAN PIONEER SX-1250
Rare World Voltage Unit (Switch inside, next to toroidal transformer)
CLEAN, SERVICED, ORIGINAL CONDITION, NO MODS, NO REPAIRS, LOW HOURS, SOUNDS FANTASTIC AS IT SHOULD
Banana plug speaker adapters (on the side) are a free extra.
All controls are noise-free, all lights work, DC offset and bias adjustments all done.
It will be tested for local Ottawa area buyer at the front door with FM radio, CD player, turntable and speakers
Can be shipped; keep reading.
The G-8000 is a lower powered version of G-9000; the circuits are the same;
They share the same service manual.
I have to stress this G-8000 is a completely original virgin, that includes all original fuses and transistors and lamps (that's how you know it's low hours btw, other than perfect sound quality).
Beware of certain recycle brokers in Ottawa area who are trying to pass previously blown, butchered and repaired stereos as "refurbished".
* MADE IN JAPAN
* Pure Power DC Stereo Receiver (1978-79)
* MSRP: USD $920 = CAD $1195 in 1978 = CAD $4932 + tax in 2022, per Bank of Canada inflation calculator
That's how much it would sell for if made today.
That is, if calculator is correct; hidden inflation in Canada seems to be much higher than that.
I suspect in today's market it would take a $10,000 Hovland amp to equal a G-8000 or G-9000.

I got paid a few times like that before, no issues.
I've been collecting vintage stereos for a long time, so trades for old stereos in any condition will be considered. 70's and 80's heavy all-metal boxes preferred.
