Sansui 6060. Needs work--makes sound, but subdued vol, and distorted. $35.00 at the GWO. Was just taking a chance. I'll see what I can do, but I'll likely wind up passing it along for parts/repair.

I am afraid to buy those silver receivers since every one I pick up seems to have issues.

I had a 7070 once but there was slight distortion in one of the channels. I will grab NADs and Luxmans though.

I've been pretty lucky on those but I always check them as best I can before buying them. I carry a DMM, headphones and interconnects to use my smart phone as a source. It allows me to rule out a good number of the bad ones.

I try to do that too. The Luxman R-115 I have seems to work ok for now...I replaced the
speaker relay and it works, although I have to hit it sometimes I think there is a cold solder joint. Between my Luxman, Adcom 535, and the Mitsubishi amp I found last month my SS needs are met. I will keep an eye out for those Sony 6060s though. Plus I have a NAD and a Sherwood rx-5505 receiver too lol.

Those 90's era Luxmans sound really smooth. Something about them.

Luxman is one of my favorite brands. I had a PD264 turntable that I bought in 1983 for many years. I currently have a T-310u Tuner and the matching L309 Integrated that I bought as a set off of Ebay. I probably paid too much, but they were sold by the original owner, meticulously maintained and in nearly like new condition. The sound is nothing short of gorgeous. Not bad for 40 year old electronics. They drive a set of ADS 710s.
