    Sansui 5000a Removing Faceplate Balance Nut

    I am trying to remove the faceplate for a Sansui 5000a. I have removed all of the clover washers / locks, but my balance knob seems to have another type of flat nut on it. I havent seen this in any videos or other posts. Can anyone confirm that is actually a nut? Is there a tool to remove it...

    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...

    6013 TR803 off TR804

    Can anyone give me a good reason why someone would undo the physical connection between these two transistors? My guess is it was an attempt to solve a problem with the wrong answer. I might guess someone suspected noise was caused by the thermal interaction of the two transistors. My second...

    Need help with Sansui 5000a F-1040-1 boards

    Hello everyone. Just picked up a 5000a at an estate sale. Very clean unit but the left channel would blow the 4amp fuses. Opened the unit and discovered the f1040-1 boards. This is my first major tuner rebuild/repair but have repaired other electronics. Ordered a f-1040-1 rebuild kit from eBay...

    Question about Right Channel Issue

    I have a Teac turntable connected to a Sansui receiver and JBLs. When I first turn it on, it plays from both channels perfectly, but after a couple minutes, the right channel gets super quiet. If I switch it to mono on the receiver, both channels function perfectly. Has anybody had similar issues?

    I could boil a pot of water on my Sansui 5000A

    I have to say I am very grateful and humbled to have recently obtained this great sounding receiver along with a pair of Sansui SP2000 speakers, a pair of Pioneer CS-88A speakers, a TEAC 4010S reel to reel tape deck, a Sansui RA-500 Reverberation Amplifier and a Dual 1019 turntable all in mint...

    Which Sansui to pick up?

    A few for sale locally: 2000 $165 5050 $125 551 $65 5000A ?? The 551 has some cosmetic issues on the face. 5000A has the tuner not working, currently at a local hobby tech, so no price yet. I have two quad units QR-4500 and 6500, but nothing in the 2 channel Sansui line. Would any of these...

    Sansui Service Tech Recommendation?

    I live in Nashville, TN and am looking for someone to go through my Sansui 5000a I picked up on craigslist. The unit is fully functional, just old. It has the 1040 driver boards in it, one of which was replaced by another 1040 board at some point (which may be a bad sign for the other board...)...

    Sansui 5000a - 1040 boards a big deal?

    I am thinking about picking up a Sansui 5000a on craigslist, and I am pretty sure it has not been modified at all and will have the original 1040 boards in it. I am not really wanting to get it worked over or do the mods I have seen myself if I can help it. The receiver is in great shape, but is...

    Sansui 5000a - Reasonable Price?

    I have a chance to buy what looks like a mint-condition, fully functioning Sansui 5000a receiver. Price would be $175, which seems perhaps a little steep to me since it has not been updated or worked on at all. Does anyone know if there is a way to tell if it has the 1040 amp boards with fire...

    Sansui 5000A Right Channel out Left Channel Distortion

    I am new to vintage audio so patience please. I have a 5000A I want to bring back to life. I ran a line out from the Tape A REC just to see if the radio and phono amp work and everything seems fine when I run it through a separate pre amp/amp. When I try using any of the three speaker outputs...

    Kipnapped Sansui - Darkhorse Replacement Recommendation

    I had a Sansui 5000A, then some things went wrong. She's being held hostage by a repair guy until some functioning controls/potentiometers(?) pop up on the market. I really liked the sound of the 5000A paired with KLH 17's. Considering I don't have the time/patience or expertise to do any kind...

    Sansui 5000A Left Channel Troubles

    Hey Community, When I picked up a Sansui 5000A (w/ F6013 driver boards) about 6 months ago, I noticed the left channel buzzed a bit more than the right, and intensity of the constant hiss/buzz increased when the I turned the treble knob past a certain point. This wasn't a huge problem until...

    FM antenna

    Can someone post a picture of a connected antenna to a vintage receiver. I have a Sansui 5000a. I have read a few posts on explaining how to do it but have walked away more confused.
