Sansui 9900Z Repair

Szalbierz

New Member
Welcome guys,

i am reparing my Sansui 9900Z. I bought this Reciever some years ago on Ebay.
On Power Amp. Board all drivers (Q7-Q11) and power transistors (Q1-Q4) were burned.
Q12 and Q13 were fine, just like "kQFT1" (JFET x2).
I decided to change all of them here is the list:

Q1 2SC3858
Q2 2SA1494
Q3 2SC3858
Q4 2SA1494

Q5 2SC2238
Q6 2SA968

Q7 2SC3503
Q8 2SA1381

Q9 2SA1220
Q10 2SA1381
Q11 2SC2690

Q12 2SC1845
Q13 2SC1845


Q14 2SA2690

After I did this one of the Transistors Q1 of left channel failed.
Reciever was already repaired and yeasterday I saw that OP AMP 4558D was replaced with MB3607.
I changed it for 5532D. Now i dissconected all of Power Transistors, both Potentiometer counter clockwise and measured the voltages.
Q5 E=7,7V C=72,5V B=7,7V
Q6 E=7,7V C=-72,5V B=7,7V

OP AMP should get sth about +15,5V and -16,3V
I am getting +8,7V and -6,7V
Can somebody please explaine me how is it possible?

Kr33 (x2) damaged? - or counterfeit/damaged OP amps? - could be many things - check power supply voltages.

I didn't realise that the 9900Z is a 'Super Feed Forward' design, you'll have fun setting the DC offset. :)
 
I just made a schematic of one channel.
I still have to check all connections, not sure I did it well.

Would be nice to make new PCB.
Could someone look on it?
I think about making 2 separate channels and put them on passive radiator.

Why aren't you using the service manual and schematics that are readily available For Free online? Instead of dreaming up your own schematics.

I don't know what your goal is here, but butchering up a very collectible Sansui doesn't seem like the logical thing to do.

The xx00z series is gaining steam fast in the collectors market.
