Wow! Some cool finds this week so far!!
I posted in another thread that a radio is one of the tools I use on every bike build which, I guess makes it a favorite tool.
Music, as well as bicycles are 2 of the top 5 things that I need to be happy. My first sentence was "Where's my radio?" (Been using this little radio for a few years in the garage.)
One of my customers gave me a Sansui 5500 from 1973. A quick Google search said these were only sold in Military Exchanges at a time when Sansui made top of the line stuff. This has a solid wood cabinet and is very heavy. 50ish pounds.
It also had the laminated card that came with it.
As you can see, this was set up for recording with 3 reel to reel, 2 turntables, mic and a few controls for recording. You can hook up 4 pairs of speakers and run up to 2 pair at a time.
Hooked it up to a pair of Yamaha speakers I've had taking up room on a shelf in the garage and it sounds great!
WAAaaaay more sound than needed in such a small space but the sound is very good. This thing rocks!!
Hope it doesn't affect my relationship with my neighbor.......
