New member, first post!
I just bought my first Sansui integrated and it will arrive tomorrow. It's a AU517 and I cant wait to get it setup. I anticipate that it will need to be recapped and maybe more. From poking around online it seems that you replace most or all of the electrolytic capacitors on each of the boards.
Two questions...
While I have the boards out, is there anything else that should be replaced/done to a 35 year old amp? Other caps, diodes, connectors etc. I feel like I should take care of everything while it's in pieces. Also specific part recs. would be great.
I plan on using Panasonic FC caps on the power supply and protection board. Any recommendations for caps on the EQ, tone, driver boards, etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Jonah
