Hi All -- I have a Sansui model 8 receiver that when on phono, produces very weak audio evenly in both channels. The turntable has been tested on other receivers and is fine. All other inputs have been tested including the AM/FM tuner and all seem to be fine, except for the phono stage.

I located two bad capacitors for each channel (10uf 50v) on the F-1216 Head amp (Phono) board. Those caps ended up being the culprits. Now my records play beautifully!

Are you looking for help or is it fixed? Does your Eight have a protection relay? Also, please post the serial number for the database. Click on the link in my signature block.
