20 1/2 year old stereo

[coreno]

Ok, curiousity kicked me today and I got the urge to find out some more information on this old '83 Sanyo stereo. I don't know alot about home audio stuffs, or audio stuffs in general, so I thought I'd ask here.

It's a Sanyo Model Number JA 220. System 220 (Which apparently means is 220 Volts (good? bad?). It was manufactured 11-01-83 (printed on the back).

The speakers are in large wooden cabinets (24" high, 13" wide, 8" deep) with the large speaker (sub? 6.5" diameter) small speaker (tweeter? 2.75" diameter) and air-intake (cover with dust , 2" diameter) 8 ohms impedance.

The sound quality is amazing, especailly when you look at it's age and I don't think I'd ever give this stereo up. If the speaker were to ever give out I think I'd cry

Anwyay, I can't find any documentation on this thing. I got more information out of a 1970 stereo than this thing.

What I'm looking for is what would the market value be, system wattage, etc...

The thing about speakers (basic household, doesnt include technology for car stereos which are a different story) is that the technology for them hasnt changed in the longest time.  So basically, its as good now as it was back in the day.... from the sound of it though, and the make (time of build taken into consideration) i'd say they're pretty well worthless ><  ... im not a fan of old school sanyo stuff at all to be honest. they've shaped up as of late but anything more than 5-10 years old of theirs is without a doubt trash in my mind.  

and omg u noob... volts? hahaha fool.

man is this what happens when ffxi goes down for the day? people sit and stare and wonder about their old speakers? ..*sigh*... *looks at polk audio towers sittin nearby...wanders over and starts reading label*....

I just guessed volts because if you type "Sanyo System 220" into google you get results relating to 220 volt sytems (110 x2).

And you don't know what you're talkin about. If technology hasn't changed... how would that make them worthless?  

[quish]

No no, u missed my point.  

technology HASN'T changed with speakers, so they'll hold their value fairly well if in good condition, but...

sanyo stuff that old (hell even fairly new stuff imo, but im biased) sucks. so they were worthless then, and they're worthless now.
