📻 Overview

Offered by BASH Vintage Audio is this classic Sansui 5050 AM/FM stereo receiver, a desirable silver-face receiver from the golden era of 1970s Japanese hi-fi.

The Sansui 5050 combines classic analog styling, a warm illuminated tuning dial, wood cabinet, and approximately 30 watts per channel of vintage solid-state power.

This example is fully functional, has received prior electronic servicing, has a partial recap confirmed by internal inspection, and features an LED dial-lighting upgrade.

It was also given a 3+ hour bench and listening test prior to listing to verify stable operation over an extended period.

Internal photos show that multiple electrolytic capacitors have been replaced, while some original capacitors remain.

Overall, this Sansui 5050 presents well for its age.

As expected with a genuine vintage receiver approaching 50 years old, there is normal cosmetic wear consistent with age and previous use.

Please carefully review the detailed photographs for the condition of the:

• Silver faceplate
• Dial and dial glass
• Knobs and switches
• Wood cabinet

We intentionally avoid overstating cosmetic condition.
