New member to this Sansui forum and I just picked up a Sansui G6000 that needs some serious help. No sound from either the driver outputs or the headphone output. All the lights work however so that gave me some encouragement to try to get this thing working again.
Thank you to @kevzep for suggesting that start a thread on this rather than piggybacking on to this older thread http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/new-to-forum-need-help-with-g6000.843619
I was using that thread as a guide to start my efforts in identifying the source of the problem with this receiver. I tested the output transistors according to this link https://vetco.net/blog/test-a-transistor-with-a-multimeter/2017-05-04-12-25-37-07 and found that both right channel transistors were bad. So I ordered 4 new ones thinking I would start fresh.
Next I went to test the driver transistors by removing the driver board from the receiver. When I took the board out I immediately heard rattling coming from the board. I am pretty sure it is coming from the caps so I assume that they are all dried out and need to be replaced. You know what happens when you assume so I thought I would check here to see if there is something I can do to verify my assumptions. Thank you for any assistance you may provide and thank you @kevzep for the assistance up to this point.
Edit: It was not the caps it was the ceramic sleeves on the C01 and C02 positions.
