Cold Smoke Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I had the same amp some moons ago; it was great. The headphone output on the 500c is no slouch either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totsuka Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Who did the restoration? I have a 400 and 500C I want to get restored. Looks like your guy did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like your guy did a great job. This particular unit was done by the previous owner, however, I had Stereo Rehab in Chicago give it a full diagnostic prior to sale. I would VERY highly recommend Stereo Rehab in Chicago for full restorations, particularly of vintage Scott and Fisher units, which are their specialty, but they do absolutely great work on everything. I am a very satisfied customer several times over.... https://stereorehab.wordpress.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Be aware that they are only open for walk in business on Friday and Saturday. The rest of the week they are working on units in the queue. Normal wait time, (depending on what needs to be done) is 3-4 weeks. I have never had a unit go longer than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 That's what they told me. Since I am currently not running the Sansui full time, the turnaround time doesn't matter much as long as it's done in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
