I bought a pair of Advent maestros today. The lows and mids were beautiful but the highs were somewhat muddied. They’ve been refurbed, the foam on the front is beautiful and the speakers in general are in good condition.
I brought em home and left them, I had to go to work and was gonna set...
Merry Christmas AK'ers! I could use a little help solving a blown fuse problem on a SX-727.
This unit was my first recap project, done 4 years ago. Following AK threads I bravely dug into a SX-727 to recap it, but little did I know how hard/easy it was! I figured even if it blew up it could...
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...
I got this 4230 and I found out the bridge rectifier was shorted, therefore fuses would immediately blow. I replaced it with a compatible bridge and turned it on with a DBT. The 100W light dimmed but not as much as it does with other receivers such as the 2225 and 2230. The dial lights came on...
I'll do my best to state the facts, just the facts:
Came across a decent looking 330c, cleaned the pots and interior dust, had to install new speaker terminals as previous owner had hacked them out of the unit
After new terminals installed, tested the unit and found left channel good and...
Hello all, just bought a Sansui 881 as-is off ebay for a good deal, so here I am with my first post. The unit turns on and relay clicks shortly after, but I am getting no sound (tried speakers A,B,C and FM,AM,Aux inputs). So I sat down with the service manual and started looking around. I see...
Hello! This is my first post and I'm hoping to get some help troubleshooting my Optonica SA-5206.
Both the A and B right channels are out. I think there's a blown fuse and I have some replacements ordered. What I'm curious about is why that fuse might have blown. I've had the receiver for 8...
Good Morning! I need a little help getting my G-8000 to power on. Last night I was adjusting DC offset on the left channel which I did no problem. I went to connect my leads from my DMM to adjust the bias and I must have connected to the wrong test point. When I connected my negative lead there...
Good Evening AK'ers. So I did a rather stupid thing tonight. I had my 5500 apart on the bench for a cleaning and lamp replacement. I'm a novice at this so bear with me. I changed out the fuse lamps and those were all working great. I needed to replace one selector bulb and I forgot to turn off...
Hi!
Long time ago I got this beauty and it played wonderfully. But one day the fuses blew, I got new ones and they blew as well.
At that time I upgraded my entire setup and let the Pioneer take a rest in the closet.
Now I'm looking for projects to finish and this tickles my fancy.
I don't...
Hi all, been searching threads the past couple of days to try to solve my issues, but figured I'd just post my situation as nothing I've found quite matches my setup.
Receiver: Sherwood S-7225—has both a single power fuse and two speaker fuses, one for L (front and back) and one for R (f+b)...
Hello all!
I was very lucky to find a Sony N77ES, mutivoltage, European Version (4 caps), in great working condition and visually almost perfect. Apart from the heat on the right side and a very low bzzz, also coming from the right side I never got any problem in these 4 months .
Yesterday, I...
Hello Everyone, after completing my SA-7100 last month, I started repairing a beat up sx-850 that I'd had in storage for awhile. After replacing some horrific wire splices from Aux and Phonos to selector board...
I have a Sansui G-2000 that I've owned for approximately three years, which I purchased from a buyer on eBay. The problem I'm having is that one of the fuses keeps blowing now. It is a 4A 12.5 volt fuse located in a bank of three fuses, to the side of the power transformer. It is the right most...
Hi guys,
I was playing a record yesterday through my Onkyo A-9755 amp and at the end of the side my turntable didn't auto return. When I was manually returning the needle I got bumped and the needle dropped back onto the turntable bouncing once before stopping. The turntable was not turning at...
Hi All,
I hate to make a new thread about the Pioneer SX 434 as there seems to be so many, but I am stuck a moment in my repair process and I would like to be able to revitalize this unit without having to take it to a shop (and certainly without having to throw it out, particularly because I...
I just purchased an AU 7700 yesterday that does not power up, no red light, and three fuses blown. I've been searching the "Exclusively Sansui" pages here and thought I would start a thread about this one. Here's a few pics fresh out of the box, haven't even dusted it yet. It was very well...
This receiver stopped working properly recently under normal conditions. When I replace the 2.5a fuse the unit lights up for a moment and the fuse pops. Im having no luck troubleshooting this unit can anybody offer some ideas?
