Hello,
Would anyone(s) be willing or able to assist me with repair on my beloved Sansui 6060? I am pretty good with a soldering iron, and used to repair Panasonic digital broadcast equipment for productions studios and TV stations. I'm a little rusty at troubleshooting and component recognition. I'd like to keep this one running. A local shop gave me an estimate of $350-$400 if all it requires is a recap, and money is tight at the moment. I checked around the forum at various times for this issue, but i think i need more specific personalized help.
My receiver has a few little problems and one big one.
Everything turns on and i can play my turntable and use the aux in for streaming over Airplay.
The main issue is occasionally there is a loud cracking in the left channel, very sharp and loud. bad for my speakers and ears and waking/scaring the baby! (i want her to love music, not be afraid of the stereo!) this is usually accompanied by loud static, and sometimes loss of signal in the left channel for a period of time.
Sometimes it occurs at startup, and other times it plays fine (for days at a time) and comes out of nowhere. not related to turning knobs or anything. I can have the volume all the way down and it still occurs. Turning the speaker selection to off will stop it, but no other input or knob settings change anything
There is also a constant kind of flap flap flap, that is not very noticeable when music is playing. that's not a dealbreaker, but i'd like to clear it up if possible while i'm in there (caps?).
I'm going to attempt to attach a file but i could only get the flap flapping, I didn't catch the crackle.
I have a schematic and manual downloaded, and I'm good at admitting I don't now something.
I've attached some internal pictures here.
Any help would be appreciated!
