Sansui A-80 help

My hunch is that's not entirely accurate.

I managed to get a estimate on it. It needs a power supply. anyone know where I could get a power supply for it?

Just have the technician who gave you the estimate replace the power supply. If you are looking for a Sansui power supply to drop in, lotsa luck unless you come across a salvage one. Even if you were to score one, you would need a schematic unless you are familiar with power supplies and precautions you should be taking. Buying vintage pieces and paying to restore them, go hand in hand. I have had a number of vintage Marantz pieces restored ... replacing the power supply is usually part of the equation.

I thought it through and in the end you were correct. It is not worth it. I already have a half dozen amps sitting here collecting dust. I will most likely throw it out unless the repair shop wants it.

thanks for the advice!

Well I left the amp sitting in my truck becuase I forgot to throw it away. And then I got to talking with a co-worker ( whom grauated from Electronic school ) that told me most likely there was nothing wrong with the power supply, most likely it was just a bit of loose soldering. So I thought why not? I thought might as well pull it a part and have a look. So I brought it inside to take it apart and then just before I did I plugged it in one more time. believe it or not it lit right up and has been playing all night without a glitch!

go figure.....
