Vintage Tuners for Cheap!! SALE Pending on both!
« on: 10 Sep 2010, 02:46 pm »
I have a couple of vintage tuners that have just been in the closet for the last 2-3 years; they need to find good homes with someone that will appreciate them.  I'm not looking for much, just basically want to make it worth my time.

First is a Sansui TU-717.  Worked great when last used and is cosmetically in good condition, but I imagine it needs alignment. As I recall, the mute switch on the front sometimes worked and sometimes would not (likely all need a good cleaning).

Next, I have a rare creature:  Audioquest Mclaren 1002.  I have an info sheet somewhere on this guy, basically it was a unit that an importer owned, and never really hit the US market.  Its smaller than the typical vintage tuner, has a sort of champagne/goldish face plate, and to me sounded quite a bit better than the Sansui.  Again, cosmetically very good and performed perfectly for me. 

I would like $60 for each (or $100 for both if some vintage guy would like to have them), plus shipping & paypal.  CONUS ony please.  SALE Pending on both tuners to armstdav!

Again, lots of feedback on the 'Gon (user name "Rrsclyde") and numerous transactions here on AC for reference.

Thanks,

Randy

I'd be interested in seeing photos of both these units if you can get them without too much trouble. The Sansui is a no brainer for that price, as long as the face is clean. I know nothing of the AQ tuner though and can't seem to find any info on the web. Any way you could scan the product sheet?

I found this tidbit on the Mclaren (I believe I have more of the story from the same guy mentioned in the link, saved on my laptop at home):

The Sansui is a steal.  I have a modded one.
