Help wiht AU717 repair in Chicago area

After reading a lot, especially in this forum, about Sansui, I purchased a Sansui AU717 a few month back from the original owner. It has been stored about 15 years and was in near mint condition when I bought it. I enjoyed its sound so much that I almost use it everyday. However, the time out of protection became longer than usual (should be 10 seconds) recently and eventually it could not out of protection since last week.

I am in the suburb of Chicago so can anyone help me know where to get it repaired?

Thank you!

Sounds like the usual fuse resistor issues so prevalent on this model.

C'mon guys & gals, there must be someone nearby who can help?

I used to live across the lake from Chicago, until 1983. I haven't been back since. I'd be happy to help but I'm about 500 miles from there now.

I know a guy that might be able to help you. He is in the city Addison and Kimball.

PM me your cell # and I'll text you his number.

I would suggest Saturday Audio Exchange on Belmont Ave. I know a few others will chime in as there are a few more places in the downtown area

I've dealt with soundclassic over the phone 3 or 4 times, great service and great knowledge.
