Sansui Service Tech Recommendation?

[bberkom]

I live in Nashville, TN and am looking for someone to go through my Sansui 5000a I picked up on craigslist. The unit is fully functional, just old. It has the 1040 driver boards in it, one of which was replaced by another 1040 board at some point (which may be a bad sign for the other board...). But it appears as though one of the 1040's has the diode mod on it while the other does not. Anyways, It is in great shape, but I think it needs a recap and some other minor work to eliminate what I think is a ground loop hum in both channels.

Can anyone recommend a reputable service tech to contact about this receiver? It doesn't have to be someone in Nashville, as I can ship it. I just want an electronically stable receiver that I can use confidently for years to come. Thanks.

I live in Hopkinsville, KY 75 miles NW of you. I was looking for a similar tech and was unable to find one. I will watch with great interest. Good luck!

In Nashville, it is easy to find someone to fix a guitar amp. Home stereo not so easy.

Usually, I don't do this, but we have restored so many 5000's lately...

Yeah, I think he runs Hi-Tech Service in Nashville. I was going to run by there with it but figured I'd check AK. Good to know he's an AK guy. I'll try to reach him on here now that I know.
