Whart:Thanks Bill, that's about 160 miles away from me, but really enjoyed reading about his cleaning processes. I too use steam, and have access to a large enough ultrasonic tank to clean them as well. The steam process I use helps makes the thri...

Best bargain find ever ?
Sansui G-9000 at a thrift shop for $10!It lit up beautifully when I plugged it in at the thrift shop but had some buzzing from some speakers I hooked it up to when I got it home. I had it brought back to specs at a reputable local audio repair pla...
