How much do you think a shop would charge for the diode change?allampeduphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790393550926758445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860573417781989448.post-30757846862706402402013-03-24T06:50:33.399-07:002013-03-24T06:50:33.399-07:00Will, your Sansui is going to need a thorough diag...Will, your Sansui is going to need a thorough diagnostic and probably a repair that might cost more than the unit is worth. Suggest calling local electronic repair places near you and ask them if they are familiar with vintage solid state units like yours. At least pay for the diagnostic - it's worth getting looked at. Best of luck and chime in if you find out anything. Thanks.

Unreliable diodes can open, and then entire amp section is toast. Literally. BTW, similar problem with 3000/3000A can take out speakers as well! Open and look at amp boards, mounted vertically at rear between the 4 big round power supply caps. If they say F 1040, that's bad. Warranty replacement was F 6013. All well if you see those. F 1040s can be modded to replace diodes.Don Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141835676837678652noreply@blogger.com
