Up for sale is a beautiful Vintage Sansui AU-505 Integrated amplifier manufactured around 1972. This unit is from the original owner and is in remarkable condition. There is only one small blemish on the wood off of one corner (see last picture). Otherwise the unit is in what I would consider NEAR MINT condition. Please look carefully at all pictures and judge the condition for yourself. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

I have cleaned and tested this unit. All functions work perfectly. The controls have been cleaned with Dioxin and are smooth and quiet and the unit produces beautiful audio, as these 70s Sansui units are known for. The caps all look to be in good shape and there are no signs of modifications to the electronics. Everything appears to be original.

This unit would be ideal for a small vinyl system as it has and input for PHONO.

Sale of the unit will include a copy of the Owner's Instruction/Service Manual.
