Wanted, the Sansui AU 555a amplifier

This was one of the best amplifiers at the time, I sold the contents of my appartment and the lease agreement to go off sailing back in 1977, I am still playing my vinyl  records using a Yamaha turntable and a Sony multifunction radio. A dedicated amplifier would be best.


Does anyone have a Sansui AU 555a amplifier for me. Naturally it must be in good working condition.

I am in Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa, contact me if you can help.

The info on the set follows:


The Integrated Amplifier of PB series which upgraded AU-555 and renewed the description and the design.


The whole page consists of silicon transistors.

The SEPP-ITL-OTL scheme of the pure complimentary darlington circuit which adopted the silicon transistor as the power transistor is adopted.

In order that an electrolytic capacitor may avoid the ill effect which it has on a music signal, as much as possible, using a hardwired-connection circuitry, a capacitor is lessened, and a required fraction makes a circuit impedance high and is using the Mylar capacitor.

Moreover, electrolysis connected the Mylar capacitor to the surely required fraction in parallel, and has improved the high region property.

The triple tone control of Bass, Midrange, and Treble is carried.

Moreover, since it is an it1 step type control, a special NetWare program and a more exact correction of a room acoustic can be performed.

Basics on the Sansui 555 au  amplifier.

Power output: 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms

Harmonic distortion: less than 0.5%
Frequency response: 20 to 80,000Hz
Channel separation: 50dB
Output impedance: 4 to 16 ohms
Dimensions: 15 x 4 3/8 x 10 7/8"

Weight: 17.4ibs

This far I have had two replies, one was in South Africa, that was so expensive it was just not acceptable, another comes from Brasil, a nice one owner amp but again the cost to ship will just price it out of where I want to be!
