SELLER IS AWAY! DON’T BID PLEASE!
Hi, I’m selling another receiver from my collection. Without looking at it’s age, it’s in good condition, you would just need to swap 2 bulbs in the dial screen. There are also some missing decals on some buttons, which can be seen in the pictures.The cable which connects the pre-amplifier to the amplifier is not included.If you have any questions, just ask.
THE SANSUI EIGHT RECEIVERThe Sansui Eight receiver is truly a class act.The Eight was the last receiver manufactured by Sansui before the 1973 oil embargo enabling the company to go all-out in the design and features of this model. Sansui, as well as other audio outfits, did not have this luxury on succeeding models due to the financial crunch brought about by the oil crisis.From Audiokarma:
The Eight was an Engineers receiver and it really needed to be after the debacle of the 5000a recall. The internal layout is logical, the haphazard layout of the following 881 and 9090DB are a step back. Check out the expensive details that went into the construction and cosmetics*. The anodized heatsinks and the cast metal output covers with machined Sansui logo can only be enjoyed with the covers off! The AM and FM gangs are separate. All of the knobs are solid aluminum with set screws.
*And if I may add- real glass dial cover instead of plastic used in other TOTL models.The interchangeable drivers boards have computer style edge connectors for easy removal and service. The antenna is double jointed. The dial and meter lights switch on or off depending on selector mode. Most if not all of these Engineers touches disappeared in the following 881.In fact, there are very few receivers from any time period that can match the number of Engineers features the Eight had in 1971!

The Eight was the pinnacle of Sansui build quality. The only thing that comes close was the first generation G series and they were just close.
