Need to see a photo of the Sansui too!
Had already switched out the turntable by this point:

I had a Pioneer SX-1010 with 2 Utah speakers that had 12" woofers. Many feel the SX-1010 was the one that stated the watt wars in the 70s. I sold it a few years ago for way more money than I had bought it for.

I had one of these, should never have given it away and just replaced the caps.

That's a beauty

My first car. Walking to work would be rough
I bicycled to my first 4 jobs, farthest was 8 miles each way. I didn't get my license until I was 18 as I could not afford a car or insurance.
Having a nice Fuji road bike was a real change up from the hand me downs I had previously.

Much of my stereo equipment over the years has been Yamaha.
My first major component was if I remember the model number CR-2020.
It was a monster in beautiful rosewood with a brushed aluminum front.
One of the things I miss from the beast is analog tuning.
The tuner was excellent and picked up stations that modern digital tuners want nothing to do with.
I liked listening to AM signals at night from pretty much every corner of North America.
One of the stations was for truckers. Guys would call in with what was going on, song requests etc. It was interesting to hear weather reports from Florida to Alaska and everywhere in between.
And I built my own speaker boxes with my electrical shop teacher.
He was big on Electro Voice speakers.
The ones we installed were 15" woofers, with horn mid range and tweeter which were all concert grade.
Looked kind of ridiculous in my bedroom being dresser size before I got my own place.
They still sound great.
The ex didn't like them because they took so much space and didn't match the furniture.
