I was curious if there is a good cleaner out there to get rid of the yellow oxidation going on in some spots on the front of the pioneer sa-9500? I opened it up last night and the original owner must have cleaned it up pretty good before I bought it. There are also a few little rusty looking spots on the back of the case that I might just let be.

You can try Brasso - just be careful around any lettering, as it can take that off.

anyone know of sansui B-2101 and C-2101 Power - Pre  ( respectively ) ??
there is very little info on the net about them.
am getting an offer for them at around $600, any good ?

Its pretty high for the Western hemisphere, but maybe incommon over there in India where it may be scarce. Its only worth $200-300 tops over here in the US.

SA-9800, and try to negotiate. But no matter what you get, it depends on what your ears like.

As i already have a au-999
i need some thing neutral , so i think the pioneer will suit the bill.
 
i cant try them before buying ...but i have read enough about them to decide.
 
not much about the b-2101 on the net though , as its 200W Power amp i though it might be in the league of au-x11/111/au-20000 thats why i asked .

B-2101 is most similar to AU-11 (II)
AU-111 ( tube amp) and AU-20000 have a completely different sound.
B-2101 (and B-2102 is newer,almost the same amp) is very modern alpha design,neutral,there are a lot of power for almost every type of speakers and it would be very important that the amplifier is set according to sm....recaping is a crucial too  and then you have a very good amp.I liked it,but at one point I had to decide which amps stay...and I sold B.
About C-2101 I don't know much ,but according to images is not in the same league as amp IMHO.

The 9800 I picked up a few days ago has finally started to show its age. The left channel comes in and out and crackles alot. I can unplug the headphones and plug them back in and get clean sound again but for how long is random.

Im not sure about the use of deoxit. Could I put it on the headphone plug and put it in/out of the jack to clean the inside? What is it safe to spray it on in the reciever?

I just used Deoxit for the first time a couple nights ago. I used it on a Pot on on under side of my TT and got the stuff ALL OVER that circuit board. I also used it on a couple of the Pots on my Onkyo 6500 mkii also getting the spray all over the place.
 
I let them dry maybe for an hour before I put the covers back on and turned them on, no harm done and the stuff worked wonders. I think you could just spray the stuff in there insert your jack and twist it around and repeat. But maybe someone else knows a better way.

So it shouldnt harm the components inside the reciever? I wonder if just spraying inside the headphone jack would be fine.

Yes, You can apply D-5 for most part of the machine (including headphone ports and mic ports). But don't apply to tuner blades and relay.  D-5 wouldn't destroy them, just it leaves residue on them. Those residues will affect tuner and relay (of course you should keep them clean).

I suggest spraying Dexoit on a Q-tip first then inserting the Q-tip in the HP jack to clean it.  Just spin it around a bunch of times.
