Hello,
I recently purchased a Sansui 517 in great condition from a seller off Craigslist. Prior to picking up the amp, I had been reading that it can be a good idea to replace/upgrade some of the capacitors and resistors to bring the amp back up to spec.
Before deciding to make any alterations or repairs, I though about bring the unit to a local repair shop that advertises its work on vintage audio gear to check if the amp is functioning optimally. If the amp is functioning properly is there still a need to recap it?
