In the past few months I have been through more vintage receivers than I care to admit. I have over 1000 transactions on ebay and have never had a problem until I started buying and selling these older receivers. Won't go into all the gory details but it's been messy. However!! I have come out OK and now own a beautiful Sansui 9090DB and a Pioneer SX-1250. Both of these units are in excellent condition and the sound is just unreal. Very smooth, warm and loud!! I like the sound and asthetics of the Sansui by just a tad but the 1250 will blow you out of the room. Both tuners are great and hopefully both units will last another 30 years. Now if I can just sell my SX-1050, which BTW is no slouch in performance or appearance.
