Of an amp.

The original owner I bought this from said it had never been serviced.
I was the first one to remove the cover.:yes:

Only a light coat of dust. This thing is immaculate.

I am very impressed with this amp and would recommend it. The build is excellent. IMO

Just bought the service manual for it.
Right side dc is 19mv left side is 21mv.
Not bad for a vintage untouched amp.

:D That's not the intention. (It's only a cute little puddy tat, maybe wants to come in for a bowl of milk or some other liquid refeshment.)

It's a nice feeling to clean or repair an "untouched" piece of equipment.

Nothing but NOTHING makes me sicker :puke:than to see a nice unit "butchered" by someone untrained or poorly trained in the art of troubleshooting and repair.:pistols:

AK really shines in this regard and warns people before they ruin a good set (hopefully the owner heeds advice from others!):yes:

Hey enjoy the untainted boards. :banana: Based on the schematic of my AU-919, brother to your unit, either Sansui began ommitting components and added others on the conductor side, or someone before me was really into mods. It was a bit confusing for me during my recent rebuild, to say the least.

Are you going to refurbish this unit or enjoy its "time capsule" quality Sansui sound??? well, cheers

Cleaning and the adjustments. That's it.
