What's vintage in your system?

Hello to all: I own a Mint SANSUI 771 and was wondering if I should sell it or put it on eBay. I have not seen many like this before. The Reciver is very Heavy, Well Built and Packs a lot of power and quality sound. I also have a SANSUI G-9000 DB but I could swear that the 771 sounded every bit as good.

I am also considering selling my PIONEER SX 8000 that sounds great and looks great. Bottom line, should I hold on to the SANSUI 771 & the PIONEER SX 8000 as collectibles, or sell them? I am trying to make room in my office, and need to thin out my collection.

Please advise,
Rocky

Please note: The SANSUI G-9000 DB is not up for sale.

I guess my only real vintage component is my '60s H.H. Scott 370-B stereo FM tuner (needs restoration). My next oldest I don't consider vintage, but it's a near-mint '79 Technics SL-1700MK2 'table with an '84 Stanton 981HZS pro calibrated MM cartridge.

I'll also include all my NOS vacuum tubes (except for my year old 300Bs):
*NOS '40s Canadian Westinghouse 6K7G drivers
*NOS '50s Mullard GZ37 rectifier
*NOS '50s RCA 6SN7GTB drivers
*NOS '58 RCA OC3 regulator
*NOS '67 RCA OD3 regulator
*NOS '50s Mullard GZ30 rectifier

How do you like your '1700MK2? I've got an '1800MK2 myself, with a Shure M97xE cart. My stylus illuminator lamp burned out, so I replaced it with blue LEDs from kabusa.com. Doesn't help the sound quality, but sure looks nifty, lol!

P.S. Cool tubes!
