    Sansui G-9000 Doubts with the power supply ripple.

    Hello!!! I am restoring a Sansui G-9000 that had a serious heating problem on one channel. I did a thorough restoration based on other restorations published in AK. After many twists and turns on the right channel, I cannot get the BIAS current below 20mV. (manual say 16mV) And I could see that...

    Sansui G-9000 in protection dc offset

    The receiver is in protection, speaker relays do not click on. Was testing DC offset at terminal 27 and 28 and am getting -2.5vdc tried to adjust it on driver boards but would only get down to -2.2 Vdc I’m at a loss as to what it could be. Any help would be much appreciated

    G-901 Rebuild Help, amp showing a short

    I recapped most of the unit and went to test it with a dim numb tester and everything is ok unless I plug in from the power protection board the main oval capacitors, then the bulb shines bright indicating a short. I checked the output transistors and they are all fine. Driver boards are pulled...

    Project: Sansui G9000

    It been a minute since I posted a build on the forum. Well - I am still heating up the iron and restoring units on the weekends for fun. Here is a list of illegals completed recently (undocumented on the forum): Marantz Forty Forty Sweet Pioneer 1010 (2nd One) Kenwood KA-8100 Pioneer 5570...

    Sansui G-9000 Oval Capacitor 're-stuff'

    I actually have a G-901DB, but they all have the same 4x oval capacitors. I'm having the unit fully recapped but my tech has not re-stuffed the oval caps before and doesn't want to tackle that project. I've asked around AK to some who have done this before, but they either do not respond or are...

    Looking for help locating G-9000 Tuning/Volume knob

    Any ideas on how to procure a G-9000 Tuning / Volume knob. I believe these were also the same knobs that were used on the G-8000, G-22000 and G-33000 as far as I know. I am also looking for the speaker terminal plate for the G-9000 or ideas on how to retrofit as I have a couple of these that are...

    New Sansui G-9000... to me.

    Been a lurker and now I got something to share. Thank you all for the knowledge, I walked in like a pro, teaching the seller. I've been looking for a G and got lucky, I was able to drive to it. Seems as though I'm the second owner if you don't count the guy who picked it up to resell. So I...

    SANSUI G-9000 PROTECTION ISSUES AFTER SCREW UP

    no one is perfect, least of all me! I am rebuilding a G-9000. In the last 6 months I have rebuilt 2 9090db's, a G-9700, a g-7700, a Pioneer SX-1250, and a Marantz 2270. Plus several others. Well I managed to make a huge error on the G-9000 on the bench now. I am doing a complete recap, and I...

    Scored a Sansui G-9000 today...

    Holy crap, I've never seen a vintage receiver of this size in my lifetime as this is my first "BIG one." I paid a ridiculously small amount of money for it as well, especially considering the condition it's in. My question here is: is there really a point in holding onto this thing? Sure, it's...

    Scored a Sansui g9000!

    Scored a sansui g-9000 on cl a few weeks ago and was able to test it barely by jimmying the speaker wires into the speaker terminals. Everything checked out ok and sound was coming through his small test speakers he had. I bought it anyways since it was half price of what was going on ebay...

    G-8000 Popping Noise

    Hello Sansui people. Long time lurker, first time poster. Hoping to get a clue to maybe save me a trip to my local technician. I've been a Sansui devotee for more decades than I care to mention. They're all over my house and driving my Sonos system. You could say I'm a big fan. My wife...

    Should I recap my G9000 myself?

    Hi all Sansui lovers, I know you can't possibly answer this - but let's have an opened discussions on what it takes to "restore" a G9000. [I don't like the term restore as it implies of some current issues, which, to my untrained ear, my G9k doesn't seem to have, really]. Short preamble: When...
