After acquiring last Sunday and sitting for nearly a week, I finally had the time to get hooked, get re-hooked correctly then enjoy.
Here are the photos, as asked for.
The Monitor 60's never sounded so good.
AK bailed me out as far as being hooked correctly.
I couldn't find a manual, but some members over there became my manual, very nice of them, to help a rookie out.
Maybe now, I can break the wife in on some RtiA9's now. (only ones I saw that can take what the amp can dish on the higher ends) (but, the Monitor's sound great, so not yet)
Well, after the refunds of the Sony and Marantz I am awaiting, then pay off the Uncle on the G, $850 and all works, except for the output pots, to which I believe is a common problem.
Thanks all for helping me decide on getting this Sansui from my Uncle.
It was a great score.:cool::biggrin:

    My GOD man that is a sexy beast. I cannot wait to find one of these. Looks like all it needs is a bit of elbow grease to be flawless. Congrats man... congrats.

    Until you have seen and heard one of these close up and personal, the pics just don't do it justice. Congrats on your terrific score! These are truly amazing looking and sounding pieces. Enjoy!

    Beautiful piece of Classic Equipment. I love the silver face and meters. Neat how they were made so the amp could be hidden back out of the way. An operational G-3300 (300W/ch) is quite hard to come by and commands a premium price on ebay should you ever wish to sell.

    I picked up a G-9700 (200W/ch) that I use to drive my SDA-1A's here in the computer room, provides plenty of power to make the SDA magic, and I like the combo a lot.

    Give the Pots a squirt of Deoxite and they should be good to go.

    Thanks. Actually, the pots and the brochure on it acquired from hifi engine, state 0.1 to 600 watts per channel. And, I believe from another source, it stated they were 450 with a 600 peak.
    I cannot legally attach the file I believe, as you have to go through their free sign up which was quick and easy, and then download the pdf file, but on page 10 it states that (0.1 to 600)....

    But actually, last page, it does state 300 watts per channel, I stand corrected.
    That is into my 8 ohm speakers.
    4 ohm, jumps to 450
    Then, it states again, but now 330 watts per channel.
    600 for 2 ohms maybe or just a peak ?

    ehh, it's a whole lot and sounds good.
    Cannot wait to get the time to deoxit
    Where do I get that stuff ?

    Man that thing is nice. You can rest assurred that you are the only kid on the block with one of those. You're other thread regarding this posed the question "Brick or Trick ?". I would have to say, most enthusiastically, its TRICK ! Enjoy it for many years to come I think your uncle is probably happy it found a good home. Cheers. :cool:

    Thanks again, I too, promised I would pass it down to my son when I passed. Hopefully he is old and gray when that happens.
    Now I am on the hunt for a turntable to match or a good one. My Uncle says I need a ceramic one. I reached out to Joe Grado, as he was one of my old customers. I am awaiting his reply, via email, as to what he recommended.
    Feel free to chime in, as I am not certain if I hit his spam filter or not.
    The Sansui, It has a nice warm and full sound, going through the Monitor 60's. For the B side, I have to remove that Radio Shack switch, and just have the Atrium 5's on their own, to which I will make that a priority tomorrow, and cannot wait to hear them.
    The radio reception is killer with just two wires hooked, cannot imagine a real antenna.

    So SORRY Mr. Rabbit I just ordered some from parts express last December I bought Deoxit, pro gold and Fader lube and some other items and my shipping charge was only 12.00 for all items. I'm sorry i got into a hurry and did not research Sweetwater completely as too their shipping I just knew i did not pay 15.00 per for mine
    Please excuse my sweetwater ignorance
