I posted something earlier today about this problem but not onn the Sansui thread.
I had this receiver given to me. Had no power. I know some but not alot about working on amps and receivers. Speakers are something I love to work on and refurbish.
A I said it did not power up. I check this site and first thing I did was clean all switches pots. When I took the top cover off there is 5 fuses.
4 are ceramic 10 amp 250volt fuses, I put all new ceramic 10 amp 250volt fuse in. The other was a clear buss 10amp 250v fuse also replaced.
I took the bottom cover and there was 2, 7amp 125v fuses. One blown one good. The wire through the middle was wider then normal which i am guessing is a slow burn fuse. The problem I have is everywhere I check radio shack and elsewhere did not have 7amp 125v fuses. All that I could find was 7amp 250v fuses. Question can I use 7amp 250v inplace of 7amp 125v fuses. I haven't fired up the receiver yet and won't until I know what to do about fuse.
Also I live near South Bend iIndiana. If the fuse isn't the issue I would like to find a Tech that works on vintage equipment. Willing to go 2+hrs drive over shipping.
