Wow.
At the begining if this video, I thought to show it to my wife (I don't have lots of gear, look at this guy).
But as the clip go on and on, I'm more afraid she'd be s.... scared I'll turn into one.
So I'll let it be.

Betcha a beer that this dude isnt married,lol.

It is quite amazing that the FM tuner in my Fisher 400 sounds as good or better than the one in my heavily modded Kenwood KT-7550. No mods to the Fisher, just new parts.

I've been focused on Sansui and Sherwood over the past year, but recently picked up this Luxman combination in absolutely mint condition.
I love the look of it and it sounds as good as those Sansui and Sherwood pieces that I have. The amp does seem to run hotter than what I'm use to, so don't know what's up with that. The tuner is a T-450 and the amp is the L-480. The Rosewood cabinets are gorgeous.

Very nice Luxman gear. I been reading very good things about Luxman vintage receivers. Specifically the R-117 and R-1120. One or the other may be in my future.

Today I cleaned the Pots on my Sansui 800 Receiver and wow! it must have been gradually getting worse as now the pots are clean the difference is marked.
That sweet vintage Sansui goodness is back to avenge my ears.

Nothing like a good DeoxIt bath to perk up that old gear!

Ok guys, I have a really Newbie question - I have a Sansui TU-7900 tuner. The tuner does not have the A.M. antenna attached, but I have the antenna and want to connect it so the unit is complete. There are four wires from the antenna, red, blue, yellow, and black. I see where all of them connect except the black wire. Is the black wire a ground or something and where should I connect it?
Like I said - a really newbie question and the service manual doesn't help me.
Any help would be appreciated.

The antenna should have two loops. In other words two pairs of wires that are connected. You can check with a DVM. I would connect one loop to FM and one to AM (two wires each). That said a single wire should work for AM. There should be no need to ground an antenna as this would almost certainly kill the signal.
