Possible Project. Considering re-capping and refurbishing my G7500.
With that said, I feel like this might be over my head. From reading posts (research) on this set, the G7500 is not of the same quality like the others I own and have rebuilt. Always wanted a G-unit = they look great (to my eye) and this was the only one local in the last 3 years. I feel lucky to have it (had for 2 years), but obviously this not of the quality of G7000 or G8000.
It works fine, but doesn't get much play based on the fact that this set has been known to grenade and the other receivers that I have accumulated. It is now the only unit not rebuilt in my herd.
Pretty much thinking of selling it or rebuilding it (and I don't sell anything). I usually don't scare easy = but I think I have a 50/50 chance of turning the G7500 into a parts unit. Could likely unload and get 9090 - but it sure doesn't look like a G-unit.
Kev / John = what are your thoughts? You are the Sansui guys that have direct experience with the beloved F2980 board. John you helped my on my first expedition into this hobby (Sansui 800) a couple years back = thanks for caring and helping on that set (am infected now and you are a big reason). Kevin your participation on a 300 post rebuild of a lost G7500 is testament to your character, passion, resolution, and selflessness. You as well helped on my SX1250 by suggesting to change all the small semi across the unit. It is as silent as a church mouse and can bring the thunder of a lightening strike in the front yard = she is my favorite unit now. I know you are on the other side / underside of the globe, but thank you for all you do.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
