    Found a Sansui 9090db in a bulk collection pile need some help! :)

    Howdy everyone! It was working yesterday, and for part of today. what I noticed was the sound to the speakers was working intermittently, then poof, no sound. I also found a Pioneer PL560 which would play albeit quietly. I figured being plugged into phono, it wouldn't need a preamp. So today...

    Sansui SR-838 Sub Weight - ?

    I now have a fellow who has offered to build this hard to find piece. While it came as an accessory when the 838 was new, most all seem to be lost - of course. If you want to use a cart with total weight above 10 grams, this part is the solution to balance the tone arm. I am asking to reply here...

    Hey there Audiophiles and Tech Wizards. I am reaching out to this community for some advice. I am a novice at repairing electronics. I can disassemble a device, deox pots, and I think I can even spot bad caps. I have repaired some really basic things, (recapped a pair of JBL L-100s, changed...

    Sansui fr-3060 spinning too fast

    Got the motor turning freely after cleaning and lubing. Now testing with a 33 rpm record and have that speed selected, but it is spinning way too fast. I also know it is on the top “step” of the capstan, which should be the slowest. The manual says to contact my nearest Sansui factory if I feel...

    Sansui 800 trouble shooting - blows speaker fuse after deoxit

    I bought this stereo at a thrift store for $15 about 6 months ago and have been using with some old speakers that I also thrifted. We really like the sound of it and my girlfriend and I have been trying to learn a bit about it. I guess we are noobs to the audiophile world. I thought the volume...

    Hello I have a sansui 6060 that I got from my father. It hasn't been touched in a few years but was working last time. I plugged it in and powers on fine but when I hooked it up to speakers a very light scrambled sound came out, like a very faint sound. I tested the fuses and the 3/16 a were...

    Use for SV04 in cascodes VAS from Sansui AU-D11 II

    @Overundr1 brought to my attention the use of these components. The middle line of Sansui amplifiers from this time, AU-D22/33/55X/G33/55X up to the X501 use a MVI03 in the cascoded VAS. As far as my knowledge goes this is needed for the base- emitter biasing from the second transistor. I would...
