Filled with dust and nicotine,bulbs are out, switches are cracking.... all familiar things.
Cosmetics are very good (only a few scratches on the top of the front plate).

Me...satisfied :D

Awesome! The one big receiver I always wanted but never got. Can't wait to hear your listening impressions.
 
Nice catch, Pepa !

The frontplate and woodcase looks unscratched.

But it must look small compared to your Big G.
 
Nice one Pepa....:thmbsp:
A great addition to your Sansui family......

I like the look of the GX01 series......
 
Tnx guys,I think it will turn out very nice...but I need some free time :tears:

Switches on board F-2797 is the worst,and really pisses me off.

It's apparent that Pepa has a very understanding wife or girlfriend. :yes:

My GF is gonna $hit when I tell her I am going to pick up a G-8000 that I can't afford to spend money on....tomorrow. I better bring over a bottle of wine tonight.
 
Wow! I'd call that spectacular! Lots of pics please as you go through the restore. I can't wait to see it cleaned up and running!
 
Thanks to all for comments :beerchug:

Damn Pepa. That's some good fortune you have going on there. Two of those? Dang.

I'd be envious except I just got myself a new amp that I love. Still though, nice find!
