I have never seen a vintage receiver this clean .The wood looks very nice. Anyone have any vintage items in this condition?

    Yes, I have several pieces of Yamaha gear that are probably nicer than that one. I have a Technics that is almost identical to it. And, I have two Marantz pieces, one of which is perfect and the other near-perfect.

    BTW, it looks like they put armour-all on the vinyl veneer of that one. Maybe not such a good idea if that's what they did.

    Some of those old Technics had wood veneer rather than fake vinyl, thus it could be oiled up. That's what I did to one of these I picked up over the weekend: sa8500xcatalog.jpg

    DOA, but pretty sure all it needs is a power-supply, so I'm in the hunt for a manual.

    As soon as I get my SA-600, I will take pics and let everyone see it, it looks very clean from what I saw on ebay

    For $75, I'd probably pick that SA-600 up. Good sound, I'm sure.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Yes, I did win the SA-600, 99.00 including shipping. Cannot wait to get it!! From what I have read about it, it is a pretty stout unit
