Title: sansui au 710
Post by: Slim-Shaddy on December 31, 2009, 11:21:26 PM

Does anybody in the area do amp tune-ups? My 710 works fine, but is operating on all original componentry. It's due for a tune up. I'm looking for someone to check it inside and out and repair any faulty caps, resistors, etc. to keep it running for another 30 years. There is a guy on epay from cleveland charging $185. http://cgi.ebay.com/Sansui-Au-717-Professional-Repair-Upgrade-Service_W0QQitemZ260508609509QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca785ebe5 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Sansui-Au-717-Professional-Repair-Upgrade-Service_W0QQitemZ260508609509QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca785ebe5)
 With shipping I'll be into the 240s. I'd rather not spend that much. let me know if you can do it or know someone who can. Thx...

No sir, but I'm sure I can get one in pdf. It's the same thing as the 717.

Follow the pages at the bottom, it is really cool how good this guy is. I keep trying, hoping to be as good someday, I am getting there slowly.

If you click on here for his main page, there is a link to contact him, I think he is way backed up. But, I have never seen anyone else get this detailed. Look at some of the others he has done, crazy...

I'm going to shoot him an email. I'm glad he's backed up... I bet he charges a ton, but it appears well worth it!! this is a great little amp, and I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. It'll be worth it to bring it back to new!
