Sansui AU-717 Restoration/Reparation Advice

Is this an common or inherent problem with this amplifier?

If you mean people not understanding the serious damage the Sansui Glue can do then - Yes.

"Inherent problem"? - Yes (as Hipocrates correctly indicates) on this and many other units affected by Sansui Glue.

And additionally...
When I see glue left behind on boards that have allegedly been 'Serviced' or 'Restored' does it make me sad/disappointed - Yes.

I made the biggest score of probably my lifetime....
I scored this Sansui AU717
A Kenwood Basic M2-A
A Kenwood Basic C1 Preamp
an ADC SS115X
A Technics SL- P 300 CD Player
A Pioneer S-55R Tape Deck
A Dyna Stereo Preamp
And a Pair of Cerwin Vega D9's

Everything's in beautiful like new working condition except the D9's need to be refoamed and each one needs new tweeters and I can't believe I got all of this for FREE!

Hey there, I have found this thread searching on line for a hifi repair person that could maybe help me with my Sansui 719 amp. I have an issue with popping when I turn it on through the right speaker. I'm suspecting it's a power issue, as it happens as soon as I turn the amp on without any sources playing. I saw John from Hyperion has been recommended, I would love to get in touch, are you still here john, or can anyone help me get in touch?
