Hi,

So I got my first Sansui, a G-5000. I am going to do full restoration. Is it possible to buy a replacement speaker protection relay for this machine at Digi or Mouser?

Any tips for restoration of this classic?

Best Regards,
Andy

Almost certain it will be possible - only thing is I don't know what type of relay for this model - but very likely to be the Omron MY4-02-DC24 - I am sure others will be able to confirm this.

I assume the receiver works OK but just sounds tired? - you know you should fix all but minor faults first... ;)

Good luck with your restore...

I didn't listen to it yet :) Seller says it works.
 
My receiver will arrive a week from now.
I wonder what is diameter of 10,000uf filter caps.
I also wonder if 1000uf/50V caps are in some kind of braces like the filter caps usually are.

Don't hold your breath! :)

I don't know that one. :)

When these receivers were made a 1000µF, 50V electrolytic capacitor was physically quite large, and heavy, and therefore prone to breaking free and causing damage while the receiver was in transit. So very often you will find these values of capacitor firmly held by clamps, or ty-wraps, or glue. Modern replacements for these will be around ½ or even ¼ the size, and consequently lighter, depending on which manufacturer and series you buy. So they'll very likely not need any additional securing method. ;)

All good provided that they're mounted on pcb and not on chassis with wires and in braces as 1000uf 50v would be still quite big in 1979, could be around 25mm in diameter and with lugs not leads. It's how it is with 1000uf63v in Sony STR-6065. In such case I would like to buy fat 100v caps to fill the braces instead of putting sponge tape in.
