sansui au 717 integrate amp

What does a full rebuild consist of ? I would like to go to my shop with a little more knowledge , and be able to ask the right questions .Along with that look for the right answers. All my research tells me its a good amp and maybe one of sansuais best builds. I liked the sound when it was workng and seemed much stronger than 85 watts per spec. Built like a tank.

There's someone in Montana who advertises on eBay that does restorations of older Sansui amps. The service is $350. I have never used him and I can't vouch for his quality or timeliness, but it does give you a point of comparison.

Ezekiel here on audiogon rebuilt my AU D11. An excellent job. I use it with EPI 100 speakers.

There is Sansui tech here in Madison, WI. He has worked on many units since "back in the day" and has every original service manual and bulletins. Pretty sure he only deals locally though... Judging by your name "Lambeau" I'm guessing you are a fellow cheese-head? Can give you his info if you would like??

Get something newer, that Sansui is wayyyyy old...
