Description from the seller
Vintage Sansui - TU 555 solid-state stereo tuner from 1968
Everything has been tested and works 100%, it still looks beautiful on the outside and inside, with minimal signs of use.
With this Sansui, we step into the golden era of hi-fi radio with the Sansui TU-555, a beautiful solid-state FM/AM tuner that blends vintage charm with serious performance. Built in Japan in the late sixties, the TU-555 features a striking round dial that lights up behind a black aluminum front panel.
When you tune in stereo FM, the TU-555’s noise-canceling circuit preserves high-frequency details without relying on bulky high-pass filters. The front panel also offers a field-strength meter and a switch between 'FM Auto', 'FM Mono', and 'AM', giving you precise control over reception. Whether you’re seeking weak stations on the fringe or enjoying local strong broadcasts, this receiver delivers warmth, clarity, and that unmistakable vintage character.
In short: the Sansui TU-555 is not just a radio receiver — it’s a collectible piece that serves as the centerpiece, built with analog craftsmanship and a serious analog heart.
