Short Story is I am preparing to sell:
Sansui QRX-7500 Receiver, Dual 510 CD-4 turntable with XUV4500 cartridge installed, Magnavox EE1908 Quadraphonic Receiver w/8-Track Player, several Quadraphonic records, CD-4, records, and Quad 8-Track Cartridges.
Details:
Most of the items are from my original Quad stereo collection that I bought around 1975 through 1977. The newest item to the collection is a Sansui QRX-7500 that I bought off e-Bay a few years ago. It had some electronics issues (one channel didn't work) and some hissing was heard out of another channel. I repaired the receivers major problems and now it works pretty good. I regularly use it in my work shop. There are still some things that some people may want to improve on or fix, but I don't have the time to do the repairs right now and the equipment is tying up my work bench. After I sell this equipment I'll probably buy a nice Stereo turntable and play my Stereo records. The things that are still wrong with the Sansui receiver are: Loundnes Button is sticky (doesn't pop out all the time); Some buttons may not fully connect when pressed, right most radio dial light bulb is burned out, Stereo Indicator light doesn't work, CD-4 Built=in demodulator potentiometers need to be cleaned, and since the receiver is 45 years old (built in 1975 I believe) the electrolytic capacitors probably need to be replaced, which is expected. BUT...it does work right now as-is. I would say the person buying it would need to be willing to do some work on it IF it is expected to last.
The Dual 510 CD-4 turntable with the Pickering XUV-4500 cartridge installed in it works fine, but I don't "own" a CD-4 adjustment record anymore, so I borrowed one recently from a guy in this club to set up the Demodulator. I connected it up to the receiver and I did manage to adjust the CD-4 Demodulator the best I could so all four channels work in CD-4 discrete mode. I do have a half dozen CD-4 records and eight or so Quad 8-tracks. I put new pads on a couple of the 8-Tracks to try it in the old Magnavox player and the player does still work. The Magnavox receiver also needs to have its potentiometers cleaned. Once in a while you need to wiggle the select switches to get all of the channels to work.
I'm not sure if I should attempt to ship this equipment to a buyer. For one thing it would be very expensive and the other is I'm not sure it would arrive in tact after I ship it. Do you think I wold get anyone to go through the trouble to come pick the equipment up from my home?
