    Sansui 5000a FM muting and stereo issue

    Hello, Have a 5000a here with some FM issues, a pretty common thing with this model it seems. I've searched extensively on this site to see if anyone had the exact same problem I'm running into, but haven't seen it. Currently, I'm not able to get any FM in stereo and the sound through FM is...

    First time Sansui receiver options

    I’ve been keeping an eye out for a Sansui receiver for about 6 months and not a lot come up in Australia. I have a Sansui ST-525 I’d like to hook up and haven’t decided on the speakers yet. Currently there’s a 5000a, 771 and 7070 on gumtree all for around the AU$600-700 mark. There is a lovely...

    5000a keeps blowing fuses, help

    Hi Y’all, I just picked up a sansui 5000a on Craigslist yesterday, got it all plugged in today, sounds amazing….at least it did. After about 20 minutes the protection lamp came on and my speakers went quiet, which is fine. So I turned it off changed to my other outlet, everything seemed to be...

    Sansui 5000A

    So I have a chance to buy a Sansui 5000A, and the owner tells me it goes into protection at about two notches up the volume scale. So I was wondering if you folks had some quick ideas at what the problem would be so I can figure on what the cost would be to do it, if you can get parts, etc...

    Sansui 5000A Left Channel Distortion

    Hi all, I am totally new to both Audio Karma and vintage audio in general. I picked up a Sansui 5000A recently as a better means of listen to music than my home theater. When i fired it up i almost immediately had issues with the left channel being very distorted...even at low volume levels. If...

    Sansui 5000A low level static

    Some time back I got a Sansui 5000A in trade...it had one blown channel. I thought I might part it out... I opened it up and wow, you really have to admire the 5000a build quality. I fell in love, so much so that I went all out and cleaned every single solder joint and recapped every...

    Where to get F-6013 boards for 5000a

    I have a Sansui 5000a that is in excellent cosmetic and electrical shape. I love the way it sounds, however it has the 1040 driver boards. I know these are prone to failure, so I'd like to replace them with the 6013 boards. I haven't had any luck on ebay so far. Is there anywhere else I can get...

    c-45 tape loop

    so I picked up a c-45 preamp. The issue is I have an SAE 5000A that at times I use for some old worn records, I know some folks hate stuff like this but it does work and it keeps the pops and ticks out of my speakers. My question is my mx-130 had listen and record knobs so it was very easy to...

    Sansui Blues - 5000A and AU-919

    OK guys, I'm just a parts changer. I'm a very careful parts changer. I read up all I can, make extensive lists, maps if you will, to the completion of recapping and up dating of transistors and I go in with the idea that I'll do no harm. Most times I hit the mark and I get a working receiver...
