marantz 2252

Just checking with the larger community on Sansui AU-xxx amplifiers (1971-1973)... Keeping an eye on a couple of Sansui integrated amplifiers but specifically the AU-666. The manufacturer is new to me but heard good things about them. My concern is the availability of parts if something fails...

Happy Easter everybody! Generally, when I recap a unit, I replace the capacitors with exact uF value, depending what comes out. Currently I am working on a 2252 (not B) and C307 in the tuner section is 0.22uF/50V in the SM and on the schematic. But the actual capacitor is 0.22uF/50V BP. What...
