Sansui AU-9900 Vintage Stereo Integrated Amplifier Repair And Restoration. Fixing Old Audio - Part 3

[@williammitchell3271]

I have an AU9500 that I bought new in mid-70s. It has been used regularly and worked flawlessly for all of these years. Until recently, that is. Glad I found this channel. Anything that makes me smarter will help me diagnose and fix the unit.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Your 9500 is a fine piece of vintage gear. As the years go on there's more of a chance of having issues. I'm glad that the video helped you out. Thanks for watching.

I hope you are showing young relatives or friends who might be interested how to work on such equipment. You would be an excellent teacher to pass on these skills. I really enjoy your videos.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank you for watching. The young people are not that interested. I guess I'm not much interested in their stuff either, LOL.

Loving this series, thanks for your great video and techniques shared. Greetings from the Philippines.

You might very well be the most skilled vintage audio restorer on KZbin. Your work is superb. I know you do this for a hobby, but I do wish I could hire you.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank you very much for your kind words. I've checked out your Your KZbin channel and viewed many of your videos, I'm impressed. I have a couple old communication receivers I'd like to get going someday. Thank you again.

Vintage Audio Addict Thank you- another addiction of mine. The SX42 was my father’s, which he bought brand new in 46. I had it professionally restored three years ago, in time for its 70th birthday. Every cap, resistor, and tube in the radio was replaced. It took a year, but it was so worth the wait.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

@@ArthurJS123 Wow, how cool! With it totally restored you heard it just like your dad did many years ago.

[@ArthurJS123]

Vintage Audio Addict Agreed-he heard Sputnik on it.

Great job. That Sansui would look nice in my HiFi rack

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank you! She's a great sounding integrated amp also.

[@Skvorec9]

Good video! Could you give me a suggestion how to remove master volume cup from Pioneer 9900. Please!

Great video, I have a Sansui AU20000 that I bought new in the 7o'

[@manuelsaldivar3962]

Sorry I hit the wrong button while texting my last message. I bought it back in the 70's while serving in Japan. It's been in storage for at least 25 years. I Would shure like to get that checked out and back in service.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank you for your kind words. An AU-20000 is such a great piece of vintage audio history. It's wonderful that you purchased it new and still have it. I have a Sansui TU-717 tuner that I also purchased new and still have in my collection.

[@vintageaudioaddict]

That would be great if you could get it going again. I still have some of the equipment I purchased in the 1970's and I still listen to it today. I'm sure that it would be very exciting for you to have the AU-20000 making music again.

I bought mine in the Pony store across from Yakota AB Japan ,1976, cost 480$, still have it, been in original box for many years, I still have sales receipt!

[@pasqualeparente9776]

Wow That is beautiful work. Where did you get all this knowledge, you keep repeating that this is a hobby. Did you have previous experience in a similar field relating to electronics?

[@vintageaudioaddict]

Thank you so much! Yes, when I got out of school I worked for General Dynamics.

[@roberttroxell4006]

@@vintageaudioaddict Smart guy! That is a beautiful piece.

[@joemartin6439]

I have had many Sansui but never the AU 717, .I had the Au 919. Image they sound way different. What do you think?

[@fahrulardiansyah2705]
