    Sansui 990db/9090db DC on output

    Hello all. I’m kinda in a situation that has me completely confused with this 990db I have. Getting right to it; This unit was given to me with absolutely no back story. Got it to the point where I felt confident plugging it in and putting it on the dim bulb tester. No smoke but of course...

    Sansui 7070 Tuner Board (F-2614) Missing RFTransformer

    I'm bringing a clean 7070 back to life and am getting close to firing it up - just waiting on the new output transistors and some fuses to arrive - but I've run into a possible issue with the tuner board (F-2614). One of the FM discriminator transformers appears to be missing - T03. The...

    Sansui 8080 - Should I Recap?

    Hi all! I have fun tinkering with all sorts of things and have recently been putting that attention on building out a vintage audio set-up. Started when I came across an awesome old Dual 1019 TT, that was in need of some attention. I did a lot there, cleaning up and restoring and it is working...

    Sansui 8080 to the tech and back.

    Hey guys, So I found a local tech brought the Sansui 8080 over yesterday with a pioneer sx580. I got them back today. He said he doesn’t like things to stack up and he had time. In his words of broken English the source of my audio issues were the source selection control which in turn lead to...

    8080 or Eight? Which, and why?

    If you could have just one, which would it be? Today I picked up an 8080 (not DB). It's in the same excellent condition that my Eight (not Deluxe) is. Neither are recapped. Soon I will be doing sonic comparisons, which I will share with the group. But for now I am just wondering which of these...

    New project. Sansui 8080 recap. Advice appreciated.

    Hey guys I'm back! But I never really left as I have literally been using my AU-719 daily since I recapped it around 2013. I came across a Sansui 8080 in rough shape years ago but am only finally starting to use it due to being able to actually fit this monster it in my new house. It sounds...

    Sansui 8080 Pawnshop Special.

    Well last week I paid off the layaway on my new to me Sansui 8080. One lamp is out for a meter but that’s not my worry. The sound is grainy muffled/distorted slightly. On all inputs/ sources. Dolby board when engaged using aux turns all sounds off. Dolby fm am is fine. I don’t see any...

    Restoring my Sansui 8080 with pics!

    First of all I want to thank this site for helping me out bring back my Sansui 8080 to life. I was lucky enough to get it for free from someone who did not want it. When I first got it the tuner lights, 3/4 of the power lights, and the AUX light were out. After searching this site I managed to...

    881 or 8080

    Hi guys! First post here.... I just got on the vintage gear wagon this year with a nice 661 which I really like. Like it seem to be the case with many, I'd like to upgrade to a better system. My audio shop guy is offering either a 881 or a 8080 for about the same price (881 is cosmetically...
