I had no trouble watching this video in its entirety. I enjoyed it from the start all the to the end. For a non professional you have a pretty good idea of what’s happening or what’s supposed to be happening at the different stages of the amplifiers circuit . Your non-professional way of explaining the electronics - IMHO - is a real strength and what kept me on board for the whole ride for the first time ever watching this type of video. This isn’t the first electronics repair/ restoration video I’ve watched but it is the first one I finished. I thank you for the education and the entertainment!

I didn't understand hardly a word you said but I appreciate the fact you do. I could watch this all day.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=da2KKLHso80&t=150">2:30</a> Can we just pause for a moment to let that sink in, "My other half" called in made the deal and brought it home for me. Sir, you sound like you have hit the jackpot. Give your other half a big hug from me to say thanks for being perfect. (For you)

I found a Sansui BA 3000 amplifier at my local Goodwill about a year ago. Mint Condition. $16. Wonderful amplifier.

Thank you for posting this!  A great save on one of the best audio power amplifiers ever made; you don't often see these out in the wild...in any condition.  I listened to one of these that belonged to a coworker back in the late 70's-early 80's through a pair of Pioneer HPM-150's; just an amazing sound, regardless of the type of music...those really were the days!  This is one of those units you could call the holy grail, Sansui made some of the best equipment during this period.  Thanks again for your time; a rare piece of audio equipment lives on!  This really was a great save!

You're a guy right up my alley. I've been tearing apart and fixing things since I was 4 or 5 years old, I'm 62. Every time I get something that's gone bad and I can't fix it, I tear it apart to see how the engineers designed it and how it was put together. I'll 2nd always taking before and after pictures, your phone is right there, use it. Enjoyed your video and I will watch more. Cheers 🥃

What a beautiful amp! I love Sansui amps as well. You are a very generous man to give away your trouble-shooting information and share your trouble-shooting techniques. I can’t agree more with everything you said about how using a good channel can be your best friend and many other things. Once a person can identify and have a basic understanding of what the different blocks of the schematic are doing, troubleshooting becomes much easier. I love that most all amps simply mirror the other channel in board layout design. I hate schematics that continue off across many pages of paper. I have even printed in tiles and cut out and taped multiple pages together to get a larger diagram to view, or to help follow the signal onto another schematics page. I once had a Ranger 2950 Transceiver schematic download printed from my thumb drive at a local office store in huge paper format of approx 3’x3’ just so I could see it well. You provide many helpful and practical tips. I have learned same way as you have over the past 35 years. I sure wish I had some of your beautiful pieces of test equipment. However it is amazing how many things can be fixed just with a decent multi-meter, ESR type Cap tester and Cap value tester and a decent solder station. My most recent tool purchased was the Hakko desoldering gun, a bit pricey but wow, how very helpful for removing a single transistor lead for testing or pulling off whole components quickly. Your getting me interested in going back to work again, lol. Best wishes always my friend and thank you for your videos, I love watching them.

I enjoyed your video from beginning to end. You gave me the courage to repair a couple vintage amplifiers I've been putting off for months.
