    Intermittent Dial Lights on Sansui 8080

    Hi all, I have a nice Sansui 8080 (not db). Love it. But the dial lights like to cut in and out. Dial lights were fully replaced with original bulbs from the awesome dgwojo just recently and installed properly. A good whack on the top of the unit sometimes helps, it can fix the problem...

    Found my dad's old Sansui 8080... What to do?

    Firstly, let me say how stoked I am to finally have something worth posting about on AudioKarma. Usually when it comes to my audio questions, they're so boring or trivial I go with reddit. But now, Sansui Forum here I come. Cleaning out my parents basement yesterday I stumbled upon my dad's...
