Any hints on the incoming?
Are your Sansui(s) in the G series? Earlier than the G?

Nice.I have the Onkyo TX-6500 Mk ll. its rated at 100wpc. I have it driving a pair of Rectilinear Highboys in my den. It was a clear,detailed sound. Nowhere near as warm as my Sansui receivers.
I just bought a new(for me) vintage receiver yesterday. Ive been lusting after this receiver for several years,and now I finally have one.
Pics will be posted when it arrives next wednesday.
I actually did not mentions the rating of my parents receiver, although I recently cleaned it and it is still going. I have been to the classic receivers many times, cool site. I got the Technics in perfect shape for only $10.Your parents Onkyo was also a very good receiver, but I think it was more like 40 (RMS) watts/channel. See:

Your Technics had almost the same power rating--45 watts/channel. See:

You can check the photos in the links and see if you have cited the correct model numbers.
Both of my Sansuis are on the shelf. My local tech had a 6-8 week wait,and then,well,all hell broke loose in the world,so they will remain on the shelf until this damn virus rids itself.Any hints on the incoming?

As I said,yall can probably figure it out.There's only one receiver I know of that meets that description (made in the USA or otherwise)--the McIntosh 4100.
Wow thats a pretty cool and unique looking receiver. I have read that those old Sonys sound good. Is it more detailed sounding ala Pioneer vs. warm Marantz/Sansui?Here is my Sony STR V6, with a special appearance by the Teac 3340s. The Sony is a really nice receiver, 115wpc. Sony's fly under the radar, there is no Marantz tax if you find one online. I also like the green lights and the FM tuner is great.

I have a fully refurbished V-7 that I got for a very good price from a quality vintage stereo sales and service shop in north Austin a couple years ago. They apparently were having trouble moving it. Like the V-6 (which I think has the same exterior dimensions), it is too big and/or heavy to fit into standard audio racks. That is a downside of the power war monster receivers from the mid-70's through the early 80's.
