Guys, finally I have it!:banana:
Sansui G901DB is mine! And it is in fantastic condition, and I have bought it in Croatia from the first owner! That gentleman is from Zagreb, and he has worked in Sansui branch office for former Yugoslavia as economist in late 70ies. Today he is an artist, and as you can see on G901DB, it has some paint on it, but that is not so dangerous because I can simply remove this.
And now, some pictures of it:

And what is the most important, it has all original parts, and genuine Sanken power transistors too! Nowhere I cant see rust, or some damage, it is really very nice!

Looks fantastic.

The power supply tranny and caps look terrific. I bet it sounds even better than it looks.:thmbsp:

COngratulations Kale, it looks gorgeous !

I am restoring a G-9000DB myself, and the inside looks exactly the same.

From your picture, I noticed the de-emphasis switch on the tuner board is on the 75us position.
You should set it to 50us for Europe.
 
Kale,

When you work your magic on the G-901DB please make a thread of it and include your replacement parts list as your restore the Sansui.

Congrats! :thmbsp:
 
Thank you guys!
I have an experience with restoring G901DB because I did that job for one gentleman one or two years before.
Here it is some pictures from that time... (at attachment)
