My parents/relatives were from Austria/Germany, I know some German, so now I have an excuse to practice my reading/writing skills a bit Attached is pic of my basement hi fi system, it varies every so often when I rearrange all the equipment (more stuff in other parts of the house) - The speakers are my prized possesion, the limited edition hi gloss black Infinity Renaissance 90, they sound especially good driven by the mighty Sansui BA-5000

Welcome here and enjoy your time - I think most of us are also fine with English - otherwise there's always somebody to translate, no problem. Very nice Sansui & Co-Setup btw...and what a beautiful Rickenbacker 620!

[BeatleFred]

There are more guitars in the house too, including an all original, candy apple red 1964 Fender Jaguar (that I got when I was a teenager in 1980 for $ 190)

[0300_infanterie]

Welcome - feel fine, problems we´ll translate ... be sure

Noooice stuff - used to have a 80ties Fender Jaguar Bass-Guitar I bought in a thrift-store for about 200 DM (100 €/120,- $?) when I was 18... not really capable of playing it - but it was something to keep your hands busy while you were singing in front of a crowd with your Highschool-Band. Good old times!

[Jomark911]

Nice to see some old known guys from the net , like beatlefred from sansui and beyond, along with some others from AK , in here.
Hi guys, John from Athnes as i said before.
I;ll be updating my profile here soon.

[Tom]

Cool stuff BeatleFred

[Jomark911]

Craftmanship quality.
Is a value that SANSUI did have , actually tons of it.This is one thing i figure out watching those beautifull pictures in here.
Thank you guys.

[Jomark911]

If i don't get to be quite boring to you guys i will explain or speak of sansuis quality in this thread, having watched this company from the inside , specially from the service corner (site), but, also as a regular neighbor -friend , in the begining.

[Jomark911]

Es gibt auch mal Tage, an denen ich mich einfach nicht einkriegen oder sattsehen kann... da müsst Ihr ab und zu durch...

Seeing , watching , this picture , only one thing comes to my mind.


: These people were in love with their machines. They really were adoring theme.

[Deubi]

...Exactly my opinion , Jomark - and Keep us posted 'bout your insights of Sansui , be sure no one here is getting bored...

Peter:
Nee, hatte ich nicht gesehen - aber bei genauer Betrachtung weiß ich auch wieso: seiner ist ein älteres Modell (wat meinste wie gerne ich den hätte), wär's das gleiche gewesen wär's mir natüüüüürlich gleich ins Auge gehüpft

John:
Kali mera John! Maybe your translation tool (or even your german, who knows?) are good enough to read this, so you'd know a part of the story behind this beautiful dream (as I often stated: the amp for life, at least for mine). Sometimes I just sit in front of it and still can't believe it really is here... it's a momument and I'm very happy with it. And of course I'm glad you like the picture...

[New-Wave]

Du bist auch so ein kali mera Gerhard

Bruno, wer hier landet ist es entweder - oder er wird es. Ansonsten hatta hier kein schönes Leben...

Und weil's bald soweit ist: kali orexi!

Hi Gerhard , sorry my german is not sufficient, but i will try my translator , so i can get a clue on what is written.
Indeed this amp is made for life. I still am looking for one in pristine condition. Who knows.
In the meanwhile i'm cooking something. If it turns out good i'll be posting here first.

For now kalispera. = good afternoon.

John.

kali nichta Gerhard & John

[Jomark911]

Hi guys. Yes, kali nichta is good night.


Now it seems that i won the auction and the SR 929 is mine. Well at least that was writen in the mail i received.
There are only a couple of matters that need to be adressed.

1) there are two instead of four feet.
2) Headshell is not the original one.
3) It probably is 100v since all japanese machines were made 100v.

The last one is not actually a problem. I will connect a step down transformer 230 to 100 and all are good.
The headshell might take me some time to find. Probably i will find it though in the well known places.
The feet thing scares me though. I'm freaked out in the thought that table will have to be leveled otherwise. Any ideas? Where could i find 4 feet , or even 2?
Any known shop or service center in germany? i know that germany was like mekka for sansui in europe. Actually my c,b 2301 , and my sony dat za 5es where bought from ebay.de .

So any ideas?
