I need help


I have, since 1975, an integrated amplifier by Sansui model AU 7700.

It had what I think were jumpers connected to the right and left entry RCA connectors of Phono 2 that I suppose were, in the absence of the Phono 2, to simulate it.

I also suppose that the jumpers have an specific impedance.
I recently send it to maintenance and the technician lost these jumpers.

If anyone is familiar with this equipment, and what I am calling jumpers, could you please check if I am right about my idea of their function and, if so, which is their  impedance so that I can manufacture a replacement?

Thank you very much for any information.

Those are plastic cover to protect the RCA jack from dirt, dust, oxidation or corrosion, not a shorting plug or phono impedance plug.

You can purchase them on eBay or Amazon...

 

OK - found a pick of Sansui RCA Phono Input shorting plugs on a later Sansui model from 1978, but you have to be registered (AudioKarma) to view the pics.

It’s the pic in the first post and the plugs have a paper instructional tag attached to them.

I don’t post there, but I recently registered because I like the site.

"Well, if working the amp without them won’t damage the amp, I’m OK."

It will not damage the amp without them. They are only necessary if you want to use an outboard amplifier or preamplifier with your unit. 

The OP is talking about uninsulated, bare metal U shaped plugs that go into the center only of a 2 wire rca jack.
