Sansui 5000X - That 70's Show Vibe

This Sansui receiver has a beautiful, classic look.  With a large FM dial, silver face, and real walnut veneered wood case, it looks as good as it sounds.  The 5000X produces 60 watts per channel and has excellent FM/AM reception. This Sansui's styling is elegant with a front face panel that is half brushed aluminum on the bottom half and black on the top half. The amber backlit dial face and green meters are appealing to the eye. With its wood case it really is a nice looking receiver and bleeds MCM vibe.

Controls

Mode Selector Switch: This rotary switch allows the user to select between different operational modes, including stereo, mono, and channel selection options.

Bass and Treble Controls: There are bass and treble controls for both the left and right channels. There is no Mid frequency tone control on the 5000X.

Loudness Switch: This switch enhances bass and treble frequencies at low listening volumes, compensating for the human ear’s reduced sensitivity to these frequencies at lower sound levels.

Selector Switch (Input): This rotary control allows the user to select the audio input source, such as a tuner, phono, or auxiliary device.

Tape Monitor Switch: This toggle switch allows for the connection and monitoring of a tape deck. It enables the user to record or playback tapes, or monitor a recording in progress.

FM Muting Switch: This switch reduces noise between stations when tuning the FM band, providing a quieter tuning experience by filtering out weak or noisy signals.

The Reverse Switch on the Sansui 5000X allows the user to invert the stereo channels, swapping the left and right audio outputs. This can be useful when the listener’s speaker setup is not optimal, or when certain recordings require channel reversal for a better audio experience. By engaging this switch, the left channel audio is output to the right speaker and vice versa.

This 5000X has been completely tested, serviced and cleaned by our in-house bench boss and is ready to play beautifully for the next 20yrs. A REALLY great piece of audio history... we do love us some vintage Sansui and this one is a winner on every level. Excellent overall condition w/striking walnut case. Has just the right amount of cool patina too. Destined to be the centerpiece of your vintage analog rig!
