had mine since 91 and i listen to it alot, works great knock on wood

bought a sa-gx100 used in 2005 and it has been trouble free.I agree about the volume control being a little warm to handle,otherwise it is a great receiver

Got this Receiver on ebay, bought 3 of them because each unit was defektive. Volume and Bass/Treble pots didn't work properly, display burned out, hard to read, tuner section all out of alignment. 20 year old units aren't worth the money, PANASONIC...
