Sleeper Vintage Receivers, AMps, Tuners, TTs,etc..


Just picked up a Toshiba sa 775 receiver with sanyo plus 50 dd tt...wow...great performance for a vintage based system...I know Pioneer, Marantz, etc get all the hype...but what about Hitachi, sanyo, toshiba, jvc, akai, sharp, etc...dont they deserve some recognition from this era? ANy sleeper models to look out for?

Not sure if its a "sleeper" but I have a Tandberg 1055 that I bought a few years back and had it totally overhauled 5 years ago., despite the fact that it was still fully functioning (except the phono stage).Looks almost brand new some 46 years later. Its not in my main system, but it's the piece of equipment that the nearest and dearest to me.  Love the simple Norwegian style.The Tuner section is to die for but seldom used these days. 
    Was looking for a McIntosh 5100 like I grew up on but just couldn't resist this little Scandanavian beauty. Sounds great and built like a tank.
