Wanted: Sansui AU-101

[Rare Bird]

Looking for a totally mint Sansui 'AU-101' Amplifier.

The important part is i'm wanting a late one with a full black back as pictured below, not the half black version

One of those shouldn't be too tricky to find, surely? It was a big seller back then wasn't it?

Aye was a very good seller in 1973 :lolsign: Most everyone i find only have the bare metal backs..:(

My old man had one - I think he got it in '74 before we went overseas. Later he got 505 (I think) as well. I'm almost certain his 101 was the same as the one your pic shows. My sister still uses it!

A: Nothing special it's for collection purposes

I agree the all black looks better. I thought maybe it was an issue of sound quality the black being latter (?) sounding better perhaps.

The use of the term NOT is a form of sarcastically saying no. It has its origin in America I think....

wiki puts it this way.....

"Not!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses of the word, see Not.

Not! is a grammatical construction in the English language that became a sarcastic catchphrase in North America in the 1990s. A declarative statement is made, followed by a pause and then an emphatic "not!" is postfixed. The result is a negation of the original declarative statement. Popularized in North America in the 1990s by the Saturday Night Live skit and subsequent movie Wayne's World, it can be found earliest in print in an 1893 Princeton Tiger (March 30) 103: "An Historical Parallel-- Not." Most often used jocularly, but also be used to express annoyance, it was such a popular catch phrase that it was selected as the 1992 Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society.

The "Not!" catchphrase was the basis of a scene in the 2006 movie Borat where a lecturer in humour attempted to explain the grammatical construction to Borat with limited success.

Similar forms of postfix negation are found in other comedic contexts without using the word "Not". Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog invokes the phrase "... for me to poop on!" to negate a compliment that precedes it. (An example would be, "But seriously, you've been a great audience ... for me to poop on!")"
