Great thread here! Thanks guys, for the detailed answer concerning the glue-removing!
I agree with Robert about changing the caps (I am doing the same in my Marantzes, because I have seen too many caps failing), but of course, I also understand Armins point of view.
It's just a feeling, I am no technician and I cannot judge it. But I did not regret having the caps changed so far.

Have a good vacation, Robert!

Hi Robert, no, I cannot believe this... Disgrace about you

Although it's very hot here, to proceed with the work
It is a time for cleaning the switches.
Cleaning sprays are used by many, but the best way is to take them apart

one of the small switches is out


quite dirty


and one of the big guy


some will say it is clean


but not so

Hi Jan...tnx for asking,preamp was finished 1-2 weeks ago (don't remeber)...and I'm very short with time last days ...I hope it will be much better soon.

and testing....obviously I'm very lucky because the white smoke remained inside





Jan,it's strange thing that Marantz fan asks for Sansui restauration...don't you think so??

[errorlogin]

Oh, I like Marantz, but I like Sansui and others, too!

Thank you for the pics, Robert. Now I know, how the unit looks from outside!
