Up for sale here is this rebuild kit for the Sansui AU-919 amplifier.  This includes all the parts you need to rebuild a Sansui AU-919, including 8 new capacitors to replace the oval main filter capacitors.

This kit includes replacements for all other electrolytic and tantalum caps, two new relays, replacements for the 8 transistors that need replacing, replacements for all zener diodes, new driver board trimmers, and replacements for all of the dreaded "Black Flag" capacitors.  This does not include replacement driver or output transistors.

These are all high-quality brand new genuine parts, the same ones I use when I rebuild vintage equipment.  Capacitors are Nichicon PW, Nichicon KL, Nichicon Muse, Panasonic FC, Panasonic film, Wima film, and 8 Chemi-Con 10k uf 80v filter capacitors.  Transistors and diodes are made by Onsemi and Diodes Incorporated.  Some of the Chemi-Con capacitors may have minor scratches or dents, which won't matter since they are installed inside the covers from the old capacitors.

This kit includes a total of 168 parts.  This is not a quick and easy rebuild, it will take a decent amount of time and effort.  The instructions will explain how everything goes in, but will not cover how to disassemble your amplifier.  This is a complicated job, so if you do not have a lot of experience with vintage gear you should not start with this one.  You should know what you're doing and have a decent soldering iron, a good desoldering tool such as the Hakko FR-301, and a dim-bulb tester with 75W or 100W incandescent bulb.

Replacing the four oval filter caps is a challenging job.  You will need to open up the old oval capacitors, remove the insides, then install two new capacitors inside each of the old oval caps.  This is not THAT difficult, but it's definitely not easy.

US shipping and handling is $12, and international is $50.  If you have any questions, please ask.
