    Sansui 5000x static

    I'm pretty sure I know what the usual suspects are here, but I figure it's better to ask than to assume, particularly with a group as knowledgeable as AK. I've got a Sansui 5000x that's been my daily driver for years. It's always had a fair amount of static on both channels on any input. The...

    Sanyo M9998 motor speed adjustment, how ?

    Hy guys, I got hold of a Sanyo M9998 LU recently, from my country's ebay knock-off site. It is the European version with long wave and fine tuning extra knob, made in Japan (some of them were made in Spain also). I cannot figure out for the life of me the motor speed adjustment. It is running...

    Wow and Flutter : A Short Story

    Not really, just thought that would be an interesting title for my first post here. I have been having some minor issues with my Technics RS-615US cassette deck. I purchased it mid-last year and have been working on it on and off since then. First was the replacement of the lamps in the VU...

    IDK video - The company that officially offers parts and service for vintage Sansuis

    ...and they make little to no profit doing it. While taking another stab at locating an AU-X11 service manual I was lead to this video. It was produced by NHK World and is used for English language education. So it is a bit odd and not very polished in many ways...

    Dammit! I need help re: preamp and/or amp damage...

    Yesterday I had an electrician at the house attempting to resolve an issue in our bathroom. Between 100 m.p.h. talking and inattentiveness (on his part), it didn't dawn on him (or me and my wife) that the electricity was still on via the junction box in the basement . He touched a connection of...

    Repair recommendations for Onkyo P-303 preamp

    I have a P-303 that has a failing left output channel. It still outputs a very weak signal that minimally increases/decreases in volume in response to the volume control, and is also crackling at the same time in equal measure to the volume. This started out of the blue today and is totally...

    KR-8050 / KR-9050 Interchange?

    I am asking here as it seems the most likely place for anyone to know the answer and some of you have actually been in the guts of several pieces of equipment. Does anybody have any idea if the following parts on a KR-9050 and a KR-8050 are the same (part numbers where provided taken from the...

    Please Help me get this Elac Miracord 750 II up and running

    I picked up this beauty on Ebay, and she is gorgeous! Someone really took care or just had this stored really well for 40 years. I can't find a scratch or a ding anywhere. Even the foam inside the springs is perfect. Unfortunately, there's some problems with the mechanics. The motor...

It has the 1040 driver boards in it, one of which was replaced by another 1040 board at some point (which may be a bad sign for the other board...)...

    Sansui 1000a restoration advice

    I got a fully functional sansui1000a a couple of years ago. It's in great shape, but has never been serviced. Every knob turn is scratchy and although it plays, I don't really want to even plug it in with all those old caps waiting to crap out (it being of the ancient tube sort of gear)...

    Troubleshooting: 2000A, no right channel.

    Just returned home from picking this receiver up on craigslist. Cleaned the wood case, sprayed the knobs down with deoxit and fumbled with them for around 20 minutes to try to get them clean. Hooked it up to my speakers and turntable, put on some Smashing Pumpkins and I hear the most glorious...
