I didn't really have any idea, as I was backing the truck into the Share Shed, what I was going to find but it was raining harder than I have seen it rain in at least three years so I was trying to stay as dry as possible.
When I got out and looked in the scrap electronics bin, I found a whole bunch of vintage amplifiers and an old 486 computer. I didn't want to load the stuff in the back of the truck so I moved everything to one side and was able to back in to where the rear doors would open and no rain would get in.
I'm glad I did.
After getting them to the shop and piling them up, I didn't look at them until I made this video a few days later. Then I thought I should look into what I had sitting there.
Holy Shirt!
(thanks, autocorrect)
Yeah, that's pretty crazy. It turns out that audiophiles really love this unit so I think I won't scrap it right away and will look at selling it for parts or something. I guess I could see if it works. I do have some speakers and a receiver I could hook it up to.
@steemmatt might be the guy to talk to about this, if he is around. I figured someone else on here might also know what the best way to deal with this is. I was never into fancy stereo systems growing up. If something played music, I was happy. I do know that some people have an ear for the finer things and that's awesome for me if it means I might get more than $5 for this.
I guess I will start checking forums.
Thanks for checking things out.
A new unit is 14 hundred right, not yours? Or
Did I misunderstand that? Your can be sold for parts to the guys who have new ones...
I'm so confused.
No, they haven't made them since like 1973. A used, working one is $1400 but I assume it is cleaned, tested, etc. This one is dusty but looks together. I don't want to plug it in in case it starts smoking like the last high-end stereo I got excited about.
Well dayum! That's a heckuva come up.
My autocorrect didn't try to change heckuva. Again, it did it again! Not sure what to think of that.
Yay! 🤗

Great find! That Sansui is definitely something to sell. Since it has no belts inside that would've decayed over the years, you can surely test it and make sure the basics work. For some of the other vintage items, you'd may want to sell them too since you'd keep them alive for collectors who may need them or parts for their collection.
