I posted this in another thread, but I think it's more appropriate to seperate this out as it's a maintenance issue.
Today I was lucky enough to score a beautiful Sansui 7000 receiver. I gave it a good clean, polished the timber cover to a brilliant lustre. I check the pots for crackling, but all sound clear. The guy that I bought the unit off said that it had been professionally serviced about three years ago so all good there.
All outputs are working well. Annoyingly most of the button decals have fallen off - replaced with generic labels that are 'adequate' but .....
It does however have a couple of issues.
Firstly, the Aux light seems to be out. The aux function is fine however so I can live with that for the time being.
Secondly, and more importantly, the tuner does not work. It fully lights up, but the signal meters do not move, and zero sound comes out - this is for FM stereo, mono, and AM.
I've just downloaded the service manual for the unit, but to be brutally honest I don't know where to start my investigation. I have some experience with smaller, simpler units, but this is a step up. I am extremely excited to learn though so any help is appreciated.
I don't yet have a scope.... but I can source one quite easily.
Thank you - AP
