    Sansui Eight Deluxe - What to expect??

    Dear Sansui devotees, I am picking up a Sansui Eight Deluxe this coming Friday. The unit is in great kosmetic condition and it is supposed to be working. So what kind of sound signature can I expect? I already have an Au9900A, G7000 and a Fisher X100 and it will play through a set of...

    Sansui Eight Bass

    I recently acquired an excellent condition Sansui Eight and was very excited to fire it up once I finally found a power cord after hearing all the rave about how great this receiver is. To my disappointment I was shocked when I fired it up and it simply paled in comparison to my Sansui 2000x and...

    How I Re-Stuffed Sansui Eight Main Caps

    Working on a restoration/re-cap of a Sansui Eight for a client. Since the main caps are such a large diameter, I wanted to re-stuff them with slightly larger and higher voltage caps (8200uF, 80V, 105C). At my regular place of work we have a small machine shop which includes a lathe. I chucked...

    Bulb Wiring: Sansui Eight

    The wires from the light bulb for the left-most tuning meter have both broken (apparently at the solder point). I've been unable to find a wiring diagram. Can someone help me to figure out where to re-attach the leads?

    Sansui Eight Restoration/Recap Wisconsin

    Hello! I gifted my best friend from High school a Sansui Eight receiver about 7 years a go. He loves the receiver but, feels like it's in need of service, possibly a recap or maybe even a full restore. He is a busy guy with a family. Wife three teenagers. So he asked me if I could do a little...

    Adding a protection circuit to an Eight?

    Has anyone either added a protection circuit/speaker relay to an Eight that does not have one, or transplanted one from another unit? My Eight does not have the protection circuit/speaker relay that the late versions of the Eight had. Just wondering what it would take to add that feature to my...

    Let's compare: Sansui Eight & Kenwood 700M

    Hi Sansui'ers, Tell me why, the extraordinarily well built and much lauded Sansui Eight (non-deluxe) would sound better, or different in an appealing way, than the Kenwood 700M, also adored by many. I have a nice 700M, and perhaps crazily, at no small expense, I am considering acquiring a...

    Sansui Eight Power Cord

    When visiting my great aunt, she asked me if I could help here clean out some old electronics. I said sure, obviously. Included in the pile was a Sansui 8 in beautiful condition. A single chip in the wooden case, and one of the button labels missing. My goal is to get it up to snuff again. It is...
