Sansui AU-117-II Capacitors

Greetings all.
I bought the 117 II a few years ago. It did not work so I decided to recap it for starters. I removed all the caps and made a list as I was doing it. Fast forward a few years and I decide to finish the job. Do you think I can find the aforementioned list????? Not a hope!!!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a parts list that will show me what goes where? The service manual is next to useless.

Please Help!!!!!!

hi-fi engine has the service manual with the layouts & parts list & schematics-calibration that should help you put the thing back together although factory manuals can have errors or missing info and it is not a hi-def scan but thats probably all there is..unless you can find a factory printed one on eBay ..assuming you can read a schematic..

I can read a Schematic no problem. I have been on HiFi Engine, and as I said in my OP that the manual was useless. The values of the caps cant be read from it and the parts list for the main PCB for example only lists the two 6800uF filters and none of the other electrolytic caps are listed in the parts list at all. I was just hoping someone on here might have had one and wouldn't mind popping the hood and telling me what goes where.

Weirdly perhaps, that's quite a rare model, however there are some owners on AK I believe. Other than that, you may have to pay a manuals service for a good copy of the SM.

I got sorted. The advantages of 12hr nightshift. I eventually found a good schematic that gave me what I need. Result.
 
Just thought id check back in, took this down off the shelf again. All caps replaced months ago now, but still hard short. Traced it to the original outputs in the left channel. I did check them at the start of the project and they were not shorted. So for now I lifted all the legs of the outputs on both channels. Behaving on the DBT now, but I'm down on voltage on one channel. Where i should have the -20 odd volts I only have 9 volts.

Plan is now over the holidays to go through it bumper to bumper and see where I'm losing the voltage. I'm determined to get this thing to run.
