Sansui 1010 Vintage Stereo Receiver – Custom Case – Blue LED Lighting
Offered here is a beautifully refreshed Sansui 1010 stereo receiver, combining the unmistakable character of classic Sansui audio with a tasteful custom exterior and updated illumination.
This receiver has been serviced with DeoxIT and thoroughly cleaned, helping ensure smooth operation of the controls and switches while preserving the warm, musical character that makes early Sansui equipment so enjoyable.
What really sets this example apart is its custom-finished cabinet. The original case was carefully sanded down, refinished, painted, and finished with a light veneer-style appearance, giving the receiver a clean and distinctive look while retaining its unmistakable vintage character.
The original-style illumination has also been refreshed with new blue LED lighting, creating a striking dial presentation, especially in a dimly lit listening room.
The result is a clean, attractive interpretation of a vintage Sansui staple—ideal for someone who appreciates classic audio equipment but wants something visually different from a completely stock example.
