Description from the seller
Vintage Sansui - TU 555 solid-state stereophonic tuner from the year 1968
Everything has been tested and everything works; it still looks beautiful from the outside and inside, with minimal signs of use.
With this Sansui, a step into the golden age of hi-fi radio, featuring the Sansui TU-555, a beautifully designed solid-state FM/AM tuner that combines vintage charm with serious performance. Built in Japan in the late sixties, the TU-555 features a striking round dial illuminated behind a black aluminum front panel.
When tuning to FM stereo, the TU-555's noise canceler circuit preserves high-frequency details without relying on coarse high-pass filters. The front panel also features a field strength meter and a switch between 'FM Auto', 'FM Mono', and 'AM', giving you fine control over reception. Whether you're seeking weak stations at the edge of the range or enjoying strong local broadcasts, this tuner delivers warmth, clarity, and that unmistakable vintage character.
In short: the Sansui TU-555 is not just a radio receiver — it is a collectible that serves as the centerpiece, built with analog craftsmanship and a serious analog heart.
