Well i took a break from the fray for awhile and just recently started reading readily on the board again, Well since ive been gone roughly 4 months ive created a Vintage 2 channel rig, my first one and sold My Pb1-isd to Spastic and ordered my Pb2-isd today, Sold my integra Receiver for the Denon 3803

My 2 channel rig consists of

Kenwood Ka-5700 Integrated Late 70's era
kenwood Audio timer (this is just cool) kinda worthless though
Sansui Tu-217 tuner also 70's era
and a Sony Cd player Cdp-xe400 (not old but,, free)
Pioneer Pl-12dII Turntable w/shure cartridge
and lastly the baby Advent II's in perfect shape..


what the great thing is is what i paid for all of it::

Kenwood integrated $10.00 local flyer magazine
Kenwood timer (aka sleep timer from the 70's/80's $3.00
sansui tuner $5.00 flea market
sony cd player Freebie My neighbor
and the baby advents $8.00 flea market, one tiney foam rip.. gonna get them refoamed maybe,.. they play great though as-is..

    Looks great. Many great deals. I too love vintage. I love new too, but can't afford anything that'll compare to the quality vintage stuff.
    Make it Funky! :)

    heres the retro audio timer (aka sleep timer) kinda unique... you can set it to turn the system on and off.. for $3.00 i thought it matched the integrated and could actually work for something

    nice faster.

    you really did find some great steals for this vintage 2 ch system. and it all looks to be in really good shape for it's age.

    I'm doing the same thing for a 2 ch. system. I haven't found any such good deals.

    wtg man.

    This sansui tuner really kicks ****, I mean it gets stations i never knew existed. The guy at the flea market said, I don't know if it works.. so 5.00 bucks and its yours.. They have outlets for testing stuff, although it was only 5 i still didnt want a 5 dollar boat anchor.. so i plugged it in, it lite up and the station meter tuned.. i was like sold. I had heard the Sansui's were worth $$
    I looked this model up on e-bay, regularly 60 + bucks on a good day..
    No lights, i removed the hood and couldnt even see any sockets for bulbs, maybe they are hidden.. i don't care to tear it apart and risk failure over it
