Hi everybody.
I am picking up an AU-505 tomorrow. I got inspired to aquire one after reading the positive opinion from qrxrestore.com. I want to attempt a full restoration. I don't yet know the shape of this unit. I got it from an online auction. I have found several really good threads here, regarding the AU-505. I have very basic electronic skills, but I have a good DMM and a Hakko soldering iron . I've replaced caps in some of my other vintage Sony stuff, (STR-6060F and TA-3200F), but haven't tried a full restoration. I'll post pictures as I go along and hopefully get advice from you knowledgable folks.
