sansui 9090

I'm having a very similar issue as this user had previously here - Sansui 9090 Fm Stereo stopped working, Fm Reception OK Doesn't look like he found a solution and I'm a bit unsure of where to start. Unit works flawlessly other than stereo reception on FM. It will work anywhere from 10 minutes...

Hi Sansui experts, I am in the process of restoring my Sansui 9090 which I’ve had in long term storage, it’s time to do the service bulletins and hoping I can get some pointers. Looks like it was made in Feb 1976. It says to remove the jumper to the L01-2 coils on the driver board F-2436-1, my...

Hello! I have a Sansui 9090, the issue is that the FM light stays on no matter what source is selected. I've tried cleaning the selector switch with contact cleaner to no avail. Short of removing the switch and cleaning it, is there anything else I should be looking at? TIA!!!

I have not used my Sansui 9090 for several months. I connected it today as stand alone and with a pre-amp but left channel doesn't have any signal or sound in Stereo mode. Speaker is good as the left channel works in "Mono" mode without the pre-amp. What could be the issue? Is this...

Ok, so I've been thinking about getting an 8080 or 9090 (or hopefully a 990) but I'm also wondering if I really need to... my current receivers are: Mac 4100 (mint in condition and functionality) - 1/2 of main system. Sansui 5000x (slight crackling on power up sometimes, otherwise good) - in...

The power switch on my 9090 is going out. I have to push it numerous time before it will stick on. Same thing turning off. Usually, I can make it turn off by tugging slightly on the switch to "unclick". It seems like it something mechanical (as opposed to electrical). I saw this replacement on...

I have a completely restored Sansui 9090- looking for sale value- any input on a realistic value appreciated. New Caps New transistors New fuse resistors New relay New cans New Lights Etc. Looks really good, but not mint Thanks Jackson

Hi there, first of all, thank you for all you do. This forum is incredible. I'm a long time lurker first time poster. I recently bought a Sansui 9090. It worked fine for a bit but then I lost a channel. I took it to a guy and he replaced something which I think was the power transformer. I...

Hello AKers I am working on a 9090 unit, previosly not-so-good repaired. After recap and resolder al the bad joints, i still having the problem before i treated the unit: Sound come and go with some volume, more that 25% volumen and the unit behave as in the video...

I am on a quest for an 9090DB but I also may consider the non-Dolby 9090 or the two variants of the 8080. I'm about to do research to understand the differences between the four units but at the same time I wanted to get the expert (you) opinions, suggestions, etc. on these units? Also, I'm...

Sansui 9090.What transistors can replace C-5802 and the one transistor on the protection board that is red in color and appears to have 27 something on top and the number 1000 underneath??

Hi, I'm planning to completely recap my Sansui 9090 and wondering if anyone here has a list of all capacitors they used? I'm thinking of using Nichicon UFG capacitors but if you have other suggestion, please let me know. Thanks.

This will be my first vintage equipment buying experience. Do you guys have a preference one over other, and if so why? Both are approximately $1000 (sansui $100 less) with good sound and average cosmetic condition and unknown service history according to their current owners. I will be...

First post here, been lurking for awhile. I did make an attempt at finding an existing thread that might help before posting this and nothing definitive popped up for me. I'm building out an analog setup for the first time since I gave my JVC L-E600 (purchased at Marvin Electronics in Ft Worth...

I am looking to replace 4 2sc1126a transistors. I cannot find an equivalent replacement. Can someone assist? Thanks.

Hey There, I'm new here, my apologies if I'm in the wrong forum. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a Sansui 9090 would be a good pairing for my Vintage Large Advent Speakers (pair, no stacks currently). I have someone that's interested in parting ways with their Sansui 9090 (my amp...

Having a tough time finding an audio rack thats wide enough to fit this monster....21.2 inches wide. What are you all using ?

When I was working on the driver board, I replaced VR03 and 04 with Bournes 1k variable resistors 3362X-1-102LF since I had those on hand from my Eight restoration project. I'm in the process of putting together and order for Mouser, and thought I'd get the replacements for VR01 and 02, which...

I am doing a Sansui 9090 recap. Anyone have a parts list they can share? Thx.

The resolution of the scan of the service manual at HiFiEngine and the one in the AK database is not very good. When I printed it out, much of the small print was fuzzy. I can make most of it out with a magnifying glass, but just wondering if someone has a high resolution scan they can share?

I know these are pretty well regarded here, though searching the forum finds wide opinions on how they compare to other Sansui receivers. I have a 9090, which I find very impressive, though I do not need that much power. Local guy who buys/repairs/sells has one. He even told me he picked it...

Hello, Have a beautiful 9090 that unfortunately is missing its driver board F-2436. I know I am dreaming but does anyone know where I could find one or contact someone that can get a bare pcb made? 9090 by Jcamp posted Apr 1, 2019 at 6:04 PM Thanks :)

Hey everyone! I'm working on a 9090, and I'm about to upgrade all the indicator lamps to LEDs, however I'm experiencing a little bit of a weird and likely stupid problem where the Aux and Phono indicator lamps aren't receiving voltage when engaged. I checked the lamps first and they're not...

My Sansui 9090 (non DB) would not come out of protection mode, so I did some research on this site and from the help of past posts it wisely lead me to look at the F2436 driver circuit board. At location R30 I found a bad/open fusible resistor, so I replaced it along with 11 other resistors, 4...

Just wondering what the prevailing thought on this is. Picked up a 9090 last week. Cleaned the inside. Volume/balance pots scratchy. Treated with Deoxit followed by Fader lube, and that completely cleared up. It has the modifications to the amp board, which likely were done at the factory...
