When we aren’t busy with restorations for our clients, we’re able to fix up some of the units we have here in shop. Here’s a list of what we currently have for sale:
QRX-9001 – $2750
We have a fully restored Sansui QRX-9001 for sale. This unit received our recap/restore service, it’s sounding great, and the quad processing is fully aligned and ready for your LPs! It also comes with all of our custom modifications: the differential current balance modification, Mylar capacitors on the audio signal path, and LEDs. The cabinet has some scratches and faceplate has a small chip that we weren’t able to buff out, but the unit is mostly in great shape. We did our best to document the imperfections in the photos below, but we’d be happy to take more photos for you if you’d like. If you’re interested in this unit, shoot us an email at tech@qrxrestore.com.
AU-505 #1 – $700
Here is one of two fully restored Sansui AU-505s we currently have for sale. This unit received our recap/restore service and it’s sounding wonderful. It comes with Mylar capacitors on the audio signal path and brand new walnut panels on the cabinet, beautifully finished by Mark, one of our techs here. The 505s are amazing little amplifiers. They used old technology (for the time) with capacitive coupled outputs. With todays 10X better quality caps, and increasing that output cap to a very large value, these amps really shine. If you only need 20-25 watts, this amp will astound and really deliver. If you’re interested in this unit, shoot us an email at tech@qrxrestore.com.
AU-505 #2 – $700

AU-777 – $1200
This fully restored AU-777 is ready to find a home! This unit received our recap/restore service and sounds clean and musical, with outstanding imaging and detail, and a low end that sounds like it is a DC amp. For an amp that only puts out 25 WPC, it sounds great. If you’re interested in this unit, shoot us an email at tech@qrxrestore.com.
AU-9500 & TU-9500 Combo – $2250
The AU-9500 is the factory upgraded version of the AU-999. The 9500 lacks the Mylar coupling capacitors of the AU-999, which we add back in, making for a stellar sounding amp. The 9500 is very powerful and probably has the most uncolored, neutral sound of any Sansui, while maintaining the warm and musical nature that is the Sansui signature sound. If that’s what you want, this is the amp. Sansui made a lot of very expensive looking separates and integrateds later on, but none of them can beat this amplifier. We also fully restored its tuner companion, the TU-9500. The two look so nice together, we figured we’d sell them as a pair. If you’re interested in these units, shoot us an email at tech@qrxrestore.com.
McIntosh MC 2105 – $2500
It’s rare for us to restore units that aren’t Sansuis, but every once in awhile, we’ll come across something really lovely like the McIntosh MC 2105. This unit is an absolute powerhouse at 105 WPC with crystal clear, iconic McIntosh sound. The cabinet has some small dings in it, but is mostly in great shape. If you’re interested in this unit, shoot us an email at tech@qrxrestore.com.
