Found this one locally. Shop had an AU-9500/TU-9500 combo w/ all original sales literature, taken in trade from the original owner when he updated his system. I didn't have the $$$ to snag the tuner when I found it, but wanted to BADLY as I recently picked up a gorgeous AU-9500 (see thread HERE).
AU-9500 sold before I could come up w/ the $$$, but the owner had set the TU-9500 aside for me: how cool is that!? Pays to support local shops.
Cosmetically its in fantastic shape & the equal of my AU-9500. Going to need some TLC though, functionally. No output at all on the FM side, "okay" output on the AM side using the in-built antenna. The FM tuner appears to be working as I can watch the signal come up on strong stations & it illuminates the "stereo" indicator. Read in an old thread there is a possible fault in the FM muting circuit (though no change when I switch out the FM mute). Also, the tuning action is a bit jumpy & rough, will sort that as well. . . overall VERY excited to have the pair, though I would've loved to snag the paperwork as well.
Sorry for the crap picture - didn't want to turn off my Son's cartoons, so there is quite a bit of flare from the television (just above the Sansuis, out of frame). . .
