Hello,
I'm starting with the restoration of an Sansui AU-217, as far as I could see, the restorations and recap aren't quite often so I would also like to post how everything goes as well.
I would like to ask you guys regarding the PSU capacitors (6800uf 50V), the thing is the original ones have 4 connectors and the polarity connections have 20mm of lead space but the new caps (I didn't bought any yet but I would like to replace the originals with Nichicon KG series) have 10mm, so I'm a bit stuck here.
I saw some people from different models modify the board to attach snap-in connections (I don't really like to modify the board) and another guys attach the lug type connections but I'm not sure how they do that, some others replace the original interior with new ones keeping the original external capacitor shape.
Any help here??.
Thanks and cheers,
Bruno.
