But, that job was not so easy... first I had a big problem with replacement those two Tuner boards... you can read at T_H_I_S thread about that problem, but thanks to johnny_fever I fixed it ! :thmbsp:
And new tuner board is on its place
Some of wire connection for that board I made by help of johnny_fever because in Service Manual you have only new Tuner Board F-2920, but not old F-2719.
So as you see on pictures above, I made that white wire connection because for F-2920 it was not installed...

Light...
Thank you Hyperion for nice words for my job
I will show you something interesting...
You probably know that the different between G901 and G9000 is in color of
background of Dial Scale, on G901 that background is silver, but on G9000 is
gold... So you also probably know that Sansui light bulbs for G receivers are
8V 300 mA, and they are working on 7V power supply because of much more
longer life of those bulbs. But lower supply voltage cause yellow light of
those bulbs, which is pretty nice on G9000 with gold dial scale background,
but on silver background of G901, for me, not...
So Stanley (the factory of those bulbs) made a light green bulbs, and
because of that the light is not yellow any more, it is so close to white, and
they still working on lower voltage than nominal...
Those bulbs I have bought from Mr.Ger, one another gentleman in
Netherlands who has also Sansui parts...
And here you can see the difference between G901 (upper position) and
G8000 (lower position).

Again thanks for nice words....
I see you like pictures from restorations, so I will show you some new...
First of all, look that solder point....
That is driver transistor, and it works all those years without problem :scratch2:
Next picture:
My receiver in the middle of restoration job...
And the next picture is of 4,7uF/100V bipolar, which is installed on board with connectors for Driver Board
Very unusual capacitor and I have bought it at Mouser (Brand Nichicon). You can find 4,7uF BP 50V but not 100V, and finally I found it at Mouser
