I've still got the Sansui 9090DB that I bought new in 1978. As a matter of fact it drives the speakers for this computer and every other audio device in the office, so it is used every day. I think that is one reason it has continued to work. I cleaned the switches a couple of years ago, replaced the bulbs and one of the power meters, but that is about it.

I also still run my dads Sansui 5000(upgraded to X) to drive the ceiling mounted speakers in the house. It has gone through an OP transistor from time to time. He bought it new at the BX at Incirlik AFB Turkey in 1967.

Ron you should keep an eye out for some of the late 70's Sansui receivers. They were famous for their in-house "iron".
