    Sansui 790 low/no left output

    Recently started working on a Sansui 790, audio on left was low. Bias checked ok at this time. I read a forum here on the Sansui 7070 (similar model), and checked for breaks in the solder joints and the traces, resoldered just to be safe, no change. Pulled and cleaned the relay, no change...

    Sansui driver transistor alternative

    Friends, I wonder if I can ask for some help. I'm repairing a Sansui 310. Have replaced blown power transistors (2SC1061 replaced with MJE15034G). There was also a blown driver transistor - one of two 2SA678s (TR 807 & 808) - which I replaced with some 2SA1015Ys, noting the different pinout...

    Crossover Help Please

    I would like to bypass the attenuators/pots on this Sansui AS-300 crossover, but I'm not 100% sure how. The pot on the left (HF) is very corroded and I don't want to try to rebuild or replace it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Sansui 7070 only plays in MONO in both speakers - HELP!

    I have tried to clean all the controls many times and it still only plays in MONO in both speakers. The amplifier section meters work on both sides and produce sound when in MONO mode. When the stereo button is pushed the stereo light comes on and it only plays on the left side and the right...

    Sansui AU-6600 Parts

    Good Morning, I am going later this morning to take a look at an AU-6600. I’m told it is in working order, that’s it. The picture shows that the unit is missing a few of the silver switch caps. In the Sansui manual it is part # 5326460 E-1 Type Knob. I’ve been looking around online and I’m...

    Turntable Upgrade?

    Hi Everybody! I'm currently running a Sansui SR-222 mkii with an Empire 2000Z cartridge. But I see a Marantz 6100 listed locally at a good price. I've always loved the look of Marantz gear (although the 222 looks cool too) but to what extent would the 6100 be an upgrade over my current...

    Hi everyone. I’ve been watching here for a long time and I’ve finally become a member. I’m fairly new to all of this and my first pair of speakers are sansui sp 1500s. Their high sensitivity has really worked well with my low wattage amp. But I feel it’s time to move on. I have a chance to trade...

    I have a normally functioning G9700 and trying to set the bias. The manual says 5mv, but I am getting 246mv both left and right with the vr all the way counterclockwise. Everything acts normal, the mv climbs and stabilizes, the voltage responds directly to the vr. I have tested the fuse...

    Starter amp for the Sansui curious...

    So I keep reading about how great Sansui amps are and have become curious enough to maybe try one out. What's a good model to look out for? Let's say budget under $1000 (Australian) for argument's sake. (That's about US$750) Bit of background, I currently run a Luxman L85V into an old pair of...
