Hello all. I recently came across a sansui eight very clean and well cared for cosmetic condition, the only thing missing was the odd power cord. Anyway got a power cord to fit plugged it in no sound from the left channel checked the fuses and sure enough it had a blown fuse on the left channel, replaced it connected to my dbt and it lite up brighter than the sun. Swapped the amp board around and now the short is in the right side. After doing some trouble shooting found out tr01 defective Looked it up as 2n4250 transistor. Couldn’t really find much information as a good substitute so looking at the spects decided to use a ksc733 no (c) Sure enough amp plays great on both channels now. Now that it’s working. I’m thinking on restoring this amazing poor man McIntosh so I need some of you guy opinion on replacing some of these components such as the 2n4250 tr01 and tr02 also tr807 (2sc807a) and tr808(2sa537a).
I’m really thrilled about these amp build quality imho is superior than any other unit that I have worked on. Also. Sound quality is superb. Would really appreciate you guys input. Thanks.
