Hi, all. It is a sort of sad revelation, but I am getting too old to lift the equipment and fully enjoy the hobby. So I am selling my quad setups. I am coming here first because I am a long-time member and have had such great help along the way from this forum: Quadlinda, Doug, Jon, and a whole slew of others. I do not want to try to ship because of the age and size, but if you have a work-around, I am open to suggestion. I am in Columbia, SC. So, I will be posting everything from my
1. Sansui 9001 - see details below - weekly driver for 20 years! diff Mod by Jim Showker (RIP), full recap restoration 2002. Below will be description, videos, etc.
2. awesome Marantz 6300 turntable
3. AT20SS cart for quad and yes I can play cd-4 without sandpaper sound through demodulators or my 9001’s Holy Grail built-in one.
4. Technics SH-400 demodulator
5. Marantz CD-4 demodulator (both work, I just alternate)
6. Dbx Snr-1 (down to just this one and has not been used in a year).
7. Dbx 200x - ditto for not used in a year - been using zektor switch box.
8. Akai CR80 DSS - also restored about 20 years ago.
9. And last, but oh so not least, my guilty, guilty American pleasure NEVER RESTORED, but working fine, (was in second system until sold those 4 speakers and sitting pretty in rack, but not used in last year) beautiful blue dials, original wood case, with ding in it from when I bought it, full, full package - get ready - COMPLETE PACKAGE: Marantz 4400 WITH SQA2B CARD INSTALLED AND WORKING, AND ICING ON THE CAKE: Marantz RC-4 REMOTE CONTROL. I want to keep this together as a nice package. Scope had movement when last in my setup, but I don’t really know what to look for as far as how it works. Once I sell 9001, I will put it in my system and recheck and play it.
So - the 9001 is a 1978 model (one of the later ones). I love this unit and have used it regularly over these 20 years. I bought it and had a full recap/restoration 20 years ago by a member of this forum. It is working well and I am attaching videos to demonstrate. It has not had de-oxit in a while, but the controls can get staticy and that helps, but also just pushing all the buttons, even on downstream equipment and then playing. Right channel can be finicky, but same thing fixes this. Also, always check cabling and such. It may need another recap soon, but plays well as you will hear and see in my videos. It is old and vintage and lovely. But, I now really do not want to worry about things breaking or needing tweaks. As noted above, Jim Showker (rest in peace), himself, did the Diff Mod on this in 2011 (QRX Restore). He was very helpful and kind and I won’t forget that. This hobby has such blessings in the people. I have copies of the manual and service manual, see pics. I like the documentation of equipment. Anyway, over the years I had cables go bad and scratchy pots and yet always got it tweaked and working. I think it likes to be played! I have been pretty trouble-free since going to the Zektor switch. I play qs, sq and cd-4 albums and q8s. All works. But again, will be selling as is and am happy to demonstrate all media through it.
Local pickup or you arrange concierge service or U-ship type of thing and I will be here for pickup and/or to schedule and demo. If you have other ideas, please share, but it is too heavy for me to pack without help. If you know how to pack the safest way, you could get me the directions and tell me exact materials and I will get a second set of arms to gently pack and ship per your instructions. You will need to pay for shipping and supplies. Please ask any questions - you can pm me or respond here. I will accept paypal friends and family or cashiers check. Enjoy the videos and pictures. I will list more things soon from above list.
Thanks for looking! GEEZ - IT SAYS MY VIDEOS ARE TOO LONG, BUT I SHOW THE DISCRETENESS OF SOUND AND FROM DIFFERENT MEDIA. THEY TRULY SHOW OFF THE 9O01. ANY IDEA HOW I CAN make them available? I will see if I can post on Youtube, but it has been a while. MEANWHILE i will try to figure this out. If interested, maybe it will let me send out to individuals. Just ask if you think this will work. A few pics to start.
Geez - forgot price. Asking $2500 or realistic offer for a regularly used and cared-for working awesome receiver. Please see youtube short videos I put up to hear it in action. Thanks.
