    You are the master in repairing broken switches! Thanks for another great video.

    This brings back memories, had a G-4500 I purchased new in 1979.

    The Sansui G-2000 (which was the entry-level of the G series) was rated @ 16 watts per channel. For an entry-level unit, there was excellent sound quality similar to the larger units. What's also very nice is the build quality. They give you a metal (not cheap pressboard) plate for the bottom.
    Anyone who wants an entry-level, 15 watt per channel receiver, then look no further than a G-2000. As my rooms got larger along with my amplifiers.

    Excellent video. Wife bought our G2000 back in 77. It is acting the same way as that one. Right channel not working. It’s been in box for the last 20 years.time for the 45 year overhaul and cleaning. 🤙

    I have the very same receiver; my parents were the original owners. Those fusible resistors seemed to be the bain of these units. These G- series units always had above average tuners in them. I found through trial and error that my G-2000 sounds better with higher sensitivity speakers; it is a really good sounding unit. One must remember at 16 watts though you can't head bang with it 😎 Thanks for your time!

      I like the minimalist design that allows you to listen to music all day long without eating up huge amounts of power. It sounds good, it looks good, what more could you want?
      Thanks for watching

    Excellent brother 🤙
    Alexis is correct! Amazing switch restoration 💪
    I had a G-6000 but sold it.
    It was a beast and yes sansui s G line was amazing!
    Hale to the King... G-33000 💪

    Great vid as always. Oops, cap in backwards- would look better in slow mo 😊. We have all done it ( only couple times thank god) Sometimes the board has nil markings, sometimes marked wrong (especially some vintage amps, speaking from experience). What I do now is do one cap at a time OR I draw a small pic below on my wooden turntable platter (like you use) if I remove caps in multiples, then refer back to it. Certainly blowing cap makes for a nice heart start - beats the morning coffee 😊Keep up the good work. You are a valuable source of knowledge and entertainment and your videos are done in such a way they are very watchable- not fatiguing at all....

      Thanks Daniel. The way I see it, we're all allowed to screw up once in a while otherwise we wouldn't learn anything

    Trevor you do great work. I have a Luxman amp, I wish you could do some work on it.

      I'd love to help all my viewers with their repairs but I'm forced to restrict my help to locals only. The shipping of gear back and forth has proven to be a nightmare sometimes

    Hi Trevor. I have this model. My left channel at the speaker outlet shows 24v. The right channel has mv’s. I’m trying to repair it, this is my first time, I have replaced several transistors and a few resistors. All of those were either shorted Or the resistor was burnt in to. Would the capacitors be the likely candidates for this high voltage at the speaker outlet?

    • @TrevorsBench
      @TrevorsBench  Před 4 měsíci

      No, caps won't cause this. Look for a shorted or open transistor or a open resistor. The amplifier is unbalanced and something is wrong with the power supply or the amplifier itself

    • @markstiverson490
      @markstiverson490 Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you Trevor for your advice. I will again test the transistors and resistors. I’m hoping I can test those in circuit as my soldering and desoldering skills are lacking.

    I have a Sansui G 2000 with a problem wonder if you ever heard of it, when in phono if in Stereo only the Left Channel works when in mono Left Channel works winning model book channels work I cleaned all the parts and switches do you have any ideas what's wrong? I appreciate any help you can give me thank you.

    Hi, I just found your channel, I'm killing my self with a Fisher ca915. Had to change a few components, amp works fine but keeps shutting of after 2 seconds, not more nor less. amp has idle current ok, no dc on output, cheked every power supply and they are good in a margin of 5%, and still does this. there are more details that I cant write down here. Can I get in touch with you personally? I'm from Spain and can't find technicians that go so far and deep inside old electronics. I'm kind of alone, and need some help. thx

      Leave him alone. Its not like he is trying to make any money form the music and sell or bootleg copies- come on get real. . Its just an accidental while preforming tests. People like you should be ashamed of yourself- nothing better to do !!!!.

    Nice unit. Lights look great. Not too hot in any one zone.
