Sansui g-8000 - restoration

[PrashantS]

Hello Everyone,


I have Sansui G-8000 which is working but recently when i opened up the receiver to clean the dust in them, I found some of the original component replaced by different components.

The receiver was last opened may be 7-8 Years back.

I am actually looking for a good technician who can restore it for me.
In case anyone know about this please do let me know.

Thanks a lot Anil.

if it is the capacitors - they need to be changed every 20-30 years or so.
What exactly do you think was changed?

Dear Greenhorn,

The earlier technician replaced one of the Left or Right Chanel filter caps with a new board.
Though i am no expert in Electronics, looking at the circuit connections he seems to have bypassed the remaining Left or Right Chanel caps as well.

There is extensive corrosion inside - I will need to use a DEOXIT first clean them and then start with restoration.
I am attaching an inside pic of my G-8000. The local service center guys replaced the original parts (Marked in GREEN) with a new board shown in RED circle.

I am searching for the original Part with the circuit board like the marked in GREEN section.

Also looking for a new board with switches on the G8000 where we connect the speakers.

I am a member of AUDIOKARMA where they have done lot of RESTORATION but its all US based. I am searching for a gentleman who can do the same here.

I have lot amazing cases with me if you wish i can share it with you.

Regards,
Prashant

[tanaka]

you could also check the american ebay for parts?

 

[PrashantS]

Thanks Tanaka. I tried that but had no success.

ebay is the ultimate saviour for such restoration projects.

Finally something good happening.
The Engineer - Gave me a list of boards which was missing.
1. F-2806 - Driver Boards
2. F-2814 - Driver connection circuit board
3. Clamps and parting cover etc.

Finally after looking 2 months got all of them.
Now the restoration will start and will post the pics in the forum.
By the way i have a Sansui SC 5100 - Which is being restored by the same engineer.
