Info on Sansui "CLASSIQUE 250"

[blurghy]

Hi, I just picked a cute little very lightweight receiver which is a Classique 250. Does anyone have any info on this receiver. I haven't found anything on it. I haven't plugged it in but I got it for 12 bucks so I couldn't pass it up. I was told it works fine. Oh boy, I hope my wife stops looking in my "playroom" or I'm doomed. Probabaly up to around 30 receivers by now. I try to hide them amongst the speakers as best I can. He He... Actually, I think she has accepted my sickness with vintage audio and given me up as a hopeless incurable schmuck. She's right. I hope she never says it my audio equipment or her... I'd sure miss her.

It is silver and looks to be from very early seventies. Low power and in a wood cabinet. The rear is sunk in quite far and the speaker posts are very unique.
Anything is appreciated,

SANSUI CLASSIQUE 250, SILVER FACE WOOD, CABINET

Thank You

Blurgy - I also have a Classique 250 and have used it for about six years. I got it at a Goodwill store for 10.00 and it is in mint condition. This little unit has really performed. All lights and functions continue to work beautifully. Like you I know very little about the unit. I thought it was around 15 - 20 watts and use it to drive two old (but pristine) KLH modlel 17 speakers which it does beautifully. The FM is very sensitive (once I hooked an old dipole attena to it) and pulls in everything. We used it after Katrina to pull in all of the Baton Rouge stations after the New Orleans stations went off of the air and it did fine! If you find out anymore info I would be interested.
