Last week I bought a Sansui G- 22000 w/manual at a yard sale for 25 bucks, with it came a Sansui SE-7 Equalizer & a pair of Infinity 112 speakers. The lady I got it from said it plays, her husband used it in the garage. I seen it and it was love at first sight. Sansui is great (I also have a QRX-7500 Quad Reciever). Well anyway I took home the 22k cleaned it up (it's beautiful) I replaced two blown fuses in the amp, connected it up powered it up, everythings good to go until I power on the amp. Protection circuit kicks in, I followed manual instuctions. Is there any hidden fuses that I can check out that would cause this problem or does anybody know where in the midwest I can get this repaired.

tubes and spinny things!
DANG! That's the second yard-sale G-22000 score! I got a rough but working one for $20 at a sale just up the street from me.
They're abusively huge beasts!
If it's going into protection and not coming out, chances are the output transistors are shot. I havne't ordered the service manual for mine as of yet, so I really can't comment further...
Congrats on that score though! It's worth far more than what you paid as a parts unit.

Steamer,
Congratulations, you may have unseated B3Nut for the all time Sansui score. When can we see pictures?

Lots of good information here. Your protection circuit problem may be a result of too much DC on the output.

As far as service manuals go, avoid the photocopied ones on Ebay. The one I have for my G-22000 is very hard to read. The diagrams are just too complicated to fits on an 11 by 17 sheet and be large enough to see detail. A lot of the fine detail gets blurred and can't be read. If you can't find an original, then I would opt for an electronic copy like the ones available on the Sansui.us web site.

At least then you can enlarge it to see the detail.
