I've got a couple mid 70s vintage Sansui receivers--one is a high end that must weigh 20+ lbs/8 kg. Also a nice Yamaha cassette deck with lots of analog tweaks. Everything was was simply picked up for the cost of helping neighbors get rid of this stuff lest it end up in the trash. They were throwing out these components and I couldn't bear to see it on the pile. Each component came from a separate household and I would ask how this sounded and they said, "Do you want it? We don't know what to do with now." There's nothing like free stuff. The one box I still miss is my Pioneer SX-450--low end but a great tuner and a wonderful tone color. I can see why people pay big bucks (still) for well designed RF analog equipment. The holy grail was McIntosh so if you stumble over the McIntosh label, a)it's very well made & b)you need a fork lift to pick it up.
