I have no idea (I'm not a DIY'er or techy guy myself), but I just wanted to say I hope you get that thing working (I'm sure you will with the help you get on here); it's one beautiful looking receiver!

Did the seller indicate it worked?
If so check the usual stuff like tape monitor buttons, mute, jumpers, etc.
Does it have Dolby adapter button, then try it off.
Maybe fuses.
Headphones jack to see if headphones work.
Do you get strong signal on FM or AM?
Is it dead quiet or do you get some static? Try an antenna.
I'm not a techy but those are the easy DIY checks.
There is at least one owner who has the S-9910 offered in classifieds.

I wish you luck! That is my dream receiver there. Eventually I will get me one.

Someday you'll understand
You wouldn't have the tape monitor flipped on, would you? I spent ten minutes puzzling over my new KR-6030 before I realized that was the problem. Silly little thing, I know, but these are the sorts of things to check before determining there's an issue requiring service.
EDIT: Beaten to it, as usual. You might be able to tell if there's an errant setting by hooking up a set of headphones, selecting the tuner, and turning the volume up full blast to see if you can detect any sound bleeding through (a flaw, but a useful one, a lot of equipment has). I don't think I need to tell you NOT to hit any settings until after you've returned the volume to a reasonable level, lest you get an ear-full.
