*GIs in Japan and Okie brought a lot of these and G-33000s back to CONUS. Curious that 40 years later one finds many beautiful examples recently on offer, mostly from high-end audio stores in Viet Nam. They run $8K - $10K plus shipping. Caution though, VN is 220V so if input is not switchable to 115V, yer screwed. Cheers!*
I was stationed in Japan in 1973 and part of 1974, the heyday of Japanese electronics. They were falling over each other trying to build nicer and more powerful receivers. I miss those days as the yen was almost 400 to the dollar!! The exchange rate made everything a bargain and our only limiting factor was we only made maybe $400 per month.
Hey Todd. I recorded this a few months back, if the volume was above half it’s only because the aux input (DAC) was turned down. Good catch! You are correct, the volume knob is usually below 25%, above that means hearing damage.
High please explain Why you and everyone else only play copyright free music when testing these things. ? As every tune in the history of man is available on u tube. I put music in here from many albums. In the past. No problem. Cheers
Well that sold quickly!
Cool, never saw a vintage in that configuration. Very nice.

*Oh yes. Even later was heavenly. JPY now ~135/Dollar. A little before my time, but sounds like you were E-5 with a year in-grade. Cheers!*
Just stunning...I love Sansui. Where did you find it? Great review. Thank you.
How can I contact you?? I have a G 22000 that I would like to recap and restore. Thanks
You lost me when you instantly twisted the volume on a 22000 over half , I think she’s been run pretty hard.

Hello! Can you sell me the sansui g22000 amp? I thank you very much!
This model whats the price??
are you sale ?
ang lakas nito 22000 na eh baka pwede utang pag nagkapera bayad? gustong gusto kong magkameron nyan sansui 22000
We couldn't sell that in the day. My boss asked me to make him an offer on the demo. No thanks. Would have been an OK investment
Where did you work? Why was it so hard to sell? That means the g33000 was impossible to sell :)
@@BobWilson84 lumpy pos. Compared to everything else. Still is. Just now it's retro hip.
