Serial on my Sansui 5000X is unreadable, also flatned, but it is ends in a 3 OR 8 for shure!@8-Tracked, don't know what to tell you about the links. Ccan you get a picture of the 5000X serial number with the label flattened out. It's very hard to see that last digit. Is it the last digit you are referencing with the 3/8. Also, in the future please don't add anything to the serial number. I have to delete it all. Please use this format: Model,Serial Number.AK user name. No space, just a coma between each. This format allows me to cut and paste the serial numbers into the monthly upload file.
@waffleboy, is the serial number: #XF 437 or XF 437 or XF-437 or XF437. The database looks at every character so for search purposes it has to be exact.
Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! @8-Tracked, The monthly database report resides in the "Digital Docs" forum on the first page under Sansui. That's where the links take you. If you can navigate to this thread you should be able to navigate to the Sansui page in Digital Docs.

@Tube Sound , thanks, got it! The Eight is a truly great receiver. Yours was build in February of '72, fairly late production so it will have a protection relay, a definite plus.
@8-Tracked, don't know what to tell you. It's a problem with your browser or operating system, there is nothing wrong with the link. What browser are you using? Try Firefox or Chrome.
As far as the database, It's a true MS Access database that I update monthly. MS Access is a great program but it's totally unforgiving. I collect the serial numbers in an MS Word file that gets uploaded into Access. I copy and paste them into that Word file from these posting.
Over the past year or so, there have been months where I've uploaded over 2,000 serial numbers. If the serial numbers are formatted as: Model,Serial Number,Reporter only separated by a comma with no spaces or other extraneous characters, the file uploads smoothly. If it's not in that format it will either be rejected or the data points go into the wrong field or can't be searched because of extraneous characters. It also makes the monthly report look sloppy.
I routinely fix formatting discrepancies. I don't mind doing it because it's a lot to expect all of the hundreds of members that post their serial numbers to always get it right. At the same time, if the postings are already in the right format, the upload goes faster and the overall results are better and I'm not pulling my hair out when it crashes.

What primary caps did you use for replacement of these 4 big Chemi-Com's?After 4 months my AU9900 is back from refurbischmant, and a lot off new parts.
I am so happy with the sound, with Pink Floyd at the turntable
