881

[Wideone]

Hey, have been reading the forum for quite some time and really enjoy it.

I just picked up recent Ebay purchase of an 881 from the repair shop and am very pleased. I just noticed that the 881 on the www.sansui.us site was also missing the knob for the mic mixer.
Low and behold, checked the photos of the rear, and there's my serial number.

Anyway, one cap and a few transistors later, it's back up and going.

The 881 is a top Line model (881...221 Line). I think that Line gets overlooked a bit because it came just before the very popular 9090DB...5050 Line. I notice a similarity in the front panel of the 881...221 Line to my QRX-7001 Quad Receiver which was made in the same time period. B/F.

BF I had originally purchased a 661 way back when I first got out of school 1n 1976. Like everybody else I kept going back to look at the new models that I never ended up buying. My interest got renewed these past few years and now, in addition to the 881 I have a 4000, G3000, G7000, G7700 and a G9700. I like them all but I sure wish I had at least bought a G7000 back then.
