So he wants it to sound like a bucket of ****. Good for him. What
are the output numbers?

**A "bucket of ****"? No. In fact, in going condition I'd put his amp up
against a slew of modern amps. Sansui built some excellent products in
the old days (along with some absolute ****). The model on the bench is
AU-X1. The output devices a 2SC2493 & 2SA1068. 100W, 150V, 10A,
35MHz. I require 6 of each. If I can't locate some in the next few
weeks, I'll persuade the client into allowing me to use flat packs.


I may have pair or two left. I used to do a
lot of Sansewer back then. Loved the ones (G series?) that would
short the outputs and burn everything all the way back to the speaker
selector switch and burn that too. Fixed a lot of those dumpster
fires.

**No doubt about it, the G series, along with others were crap. The
AU-X1, however, is a completely different animal. Expensively built,
using lots of expensive components, with decent sound quality and a high
secondary market value. IOW: It is worth restoring.
