Things are not always as they seem.

I am right handed. Notice I was using my left. Holding camera with right.

My first Sansui, a refurbed AU-417 will arrive this Friday. My finger and camera are ready.

^ Just what did that 690 ever do to you? Oh, I see the tuner lights are out. Must be due to a bad rotary selector switch. Now I understand.

Bingo!

A botched repair of the switch tore up the board traces and finding another is impossible.

 

[Sansuiman]

Well, that...sucks. Guess I was too close to the truth to be truly funny with that one. I've seen 6060's parted out on ebay numerous times though, seems like the needed parts should be findable with some patience.

This is an 890, same board as 8080/9090 (as I'm sure you know).

Patience.

Finally got one on the bench. Dolby board issue, wasn't able to fix it. Sound only works on REC-2. Dolby board needs a rebuild or a pro tech with a scope (I don't have one).

 

[Sansuiman]

@milo63 - Ah, I see it now. My first glance at the pic it looked like it said "690" due to being slightly blurry. That does make parts a bit harder to come by, but not impossible.

That Dolby board is the scourge of all Sansuidom. Well, that and black flag caps, and those vertical RCA jacks on a bunch of models and the double sided switching board on the QRX....eh, you get the point.

And to keep it going.
Should be able to hear it over the Pacific now.
