Sansui AU 3900 vintage 1974


posted by pre1mech on Feb 28, 2008


I have a sansui AU 3900 it has been in my closet for lets just say untold years because I took it to several sound stores and was told they didn't have the schematics for it and I was probably out of luck.
The problem I am having is when I turn the power on within a few seconds the amp shuts it self down.

Try rick at stereomanuals.com
The shutdown would be from a voltage supply in the power amp seeing too heavy a load and "shutting down" so that the amp doesnt Fry
