Hello!
I have an AU-717 and TU-717 (not sure what to do with the receiver). I am looking for someone with a good reputation to restore my amp. Some of the names I have found appear to be in quite old threads, or out of business, or don't specialize in Sansui. One candidate (name withheld) looks very knowledgeable but will not clean the glue or do the chassis wash that Liquid Audio in Australia does (I am in the US).

Thank you for your time to reply.

PM @Aud10file here on AK. You can also check out the website he recently set-up, https://precisionaudiorestorations1.com/. He also posted a 717 restoration thread (and a few other models) here on AK that you can find if you search his content.

I have first hand experience and can highly recommend him. He's also received some great feedback from others on AK and elsewhere.

Your approximate location would be very helpful in making a recommendation to cut down or eliminate shipping costs and damage exposure.
 
I need the power protection going off on my AU-717 fixed; it was supposedly fixed once but as soon as it got back to me it started up again. Any sound, low volume, triggers it. Driving me nuts. I love the sound of this amp and have for years but there isn't anyone locally any more who could do this and I don't have the ability. Ready to to sell it for parts, but it seems a shame given the value monetarily and otherwise on this unit. I live in Oregon though, so may as well be in Argentina for repairs.
