SOLD  7/19/12
Our technician has completely gone through this unit cleaning everything including all switches (actually accessed (requires 'splitting' the unit horizontally) and fully flooded), controls and contacts for quiet, positive operation. 
Extra attention is ALWAYS necessary on Sansui 990 / 9090 units to the 'Input Selector' and 'Dolby' switches, and they were completely disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, burnished, had contacts 're-sprung' and tested (only about half the 990's, 8080's and 9090's have input selector switches that will respond to cleaning only). On this unit, he actually bypassed the wafer portion that routes the dial light current, and direct wired the lights to be lit constantly (the issue with the dial lights on Sansui 880 / 8080-DB / 990 / 9090-DB series receivers is that the contacts were, by design, too anemic to handle the 1 Amp+ current they require).  He also re-flowed all dial lamp solder joints, especially at the 'extremes' of the board. Now dial lamps light solidly and inputs sonically intact. DC measurements taken 'post-preamp', 'post driver board' and 'post power amp'. Questionable driver board replaced with another original, inspected component by component & contacts burnished. Once reseated, DC measurements re-taken. Once driver board was replaced, then the tech moved to address the output transistors. Substitute 'generic' outputs and bad original outputs removed and we 'hand picked' from our extensive collection of original Sansui 9090 output transistors, and closely matched 'quads' of outputs to re-install. Fresh heat sink compound used of course. Green 'LED' Power indicator's 'current limiting' circuit components replaced as necessary. The 'typically broken', Sansui 9090 AM antenna socket replaced . We also aligned the tuner front-end for optimum AM & FM performance as older internal tuner components have always drifted on vintage gear over the years. All dial, all meter (including the very difficult to replace power meter lamps ), all function indicator and stereo indicator lamps replaced with new units for years of trouble-free service. Also we 'painstakingly' replaced the 'dial pointer' lamp. The dial string was cleaned and re-tensioned. Once unit's electronics were addressed, the unit was cosmetically detailed inside and out, including rubbing the Real Walnut Wood veneer case with a fresh coat of lemon oil. All original, extruded face, and milled aluminum knobs in great shape after detailing. Internal and external dial screen and window in perfect shape. All inputs tested, including both phonos, and both amplifiers produces clean and even sine waves into static 8 & 4 ohm loads! No power supply hum of any kind. It's dead silent! All functions test fine. The real Walnut wood veneer in good condition with only very minor wear. Following restoration procedures, the unit was operated continuously at medium volume, as all our amplifier / receivers are, into a load with ""Loudness"" on and both Tone Controls at 10 for 72 hours.
  
  On our test bench, this particular Sansui 990DB, #...0061, amplifiers each produced 35 volts per channel for 153 watts per channel @ 8 Ω via discrete output & 31 volts per channel for 242 watts per channel @ 4 Ω via discrete, Metal cased, original TO-3 outputs (Toshiba 4x  2SB554 & 4x 2SD424 output transistors).
 (AC draw at idle 350mA tested,
DC offset adjusted to <4mV each side.
Floor noise measured at L=00.1mVAC and R=00.1mVAC)
 great tuners, and amp's that you can "darn near weld with". The tuner quality on both AM & FM is exceptional due to aspects such as a fully shielded tuning capacitor .

  ___________________________ 
  
  Here's the first Sansui 9090DB we've had, that's made it all the way through our restoration with no 'terminal' issues, since 2004! These receivers are known for great AM/FM tuners, and amplifiers that you can "darn near weld with". The tuner quality on both AM & FM is exceptional due to aspects such as a fully shielded tuning capacitor . The amps are incredibly warm sounding with HUGE punch and headroom. Very "Musical" sounding with real output transistors and huge power supplies.  A testament to the strength of the power supply is that the results we achieved on the test bench. Most receivers will have from 20-40% more power at 4 Ohms than they do at 8 Ohms. This is primarily due to power supply limitations. However, the Sansui 9090 at 4 Ohms is almost double what the receiver's amplifiers are are rated at for 8 Ohms!!!
The difference in tone of an 8080 or 9090, with a 'clean bill of health', and most other receivers is astronomical. It's a difference that must be experienced to be appreciated.  Again, we done EXTENSIVE refurbishment / restoration work (~18 hours) on this unit to insure it's performance. With the exception of a few very minor 'tic' marks on the front panel, the face plate, window and knobs are in great cosmetic condition (see photos above). The 'typically broken' Sansui 9090 AM antenna socket still intact and 'un-broken'.
