Is he accommodating?

Had a bad experience from this guy, he believes so much of him.

Just sharing the experience during my inquiry for assistance to repair some of my Sansui units.

I highly recommend markcrenz PinoyDVD Legend. http://www.pinoydvd.com/index.php?action=profile;u=21515

He has not destroyed any of the gears I have brought to him for maintenance and repair unlike some others.... Importantly as a fellow music lover, he understands our concerns.

I have heard some bad stories also... though not my personal experience.

Jun Medina is a Japanese trained tech used to work at Sansui Service Center
at VV Soliven towers before, so he is qualified....he tells me he is swamped with work....
the problem very common with vintage gears is parts availability as many of the semicons
have become obsolete due to age...simply not available anymore....
So if he thinks that your unit is not worth his time, then don't take it against him....
we communicate once in a while about parts and stuff...btw, i came to know him thru pdvd....

add to that is the fact that when a unit has been tampered with,
the repair then becomes a matter of board replacement....

Guys like Nelson Pass and maybe John Curl buy parts by the hundred thousand pieces,
so that they have a lifetime supply of parts....few guys can afford that for sure....

sir, ypgm...

No question about his claimed expertise in repairing Sansui, it's actually how he accommodates inquiries.

He's sarcastic in that manner, which you will be surprised as customer.

His famous statement "kung wala kayo tiwala eh di pagawa nyo na sa iba"....that's his usual response every time a customer will ask "do you think may chance to repair my unit". By which you'll just be surprised.

^perhaps you caught him in a bad time, our conversations so far have been
very jovial, he has another job in another shop and attends to repairs after his day job...

i supply him with power trannies and some tips....

forseti · « **Reply #248 on:** Mar 10, 2015 at 12:34 PM »

Whether an expert or not, it's how a person answers back to a customer seeking help or assistance.

IMHO

Maybe he respects you because of your deep technical knowledge.

I've heard same complaints from other people seeking services from him.

tony · « **Reply #250 on:** Mar 10, 2015 at 12:43 PM »

you have point there.....will give him feedback when he drops by the house...

you have to understand also that lots of time, repairs can be just as frustrating to technicians more than the end users.....

I hope he does. Small lang audio community kasi.

Most often than not, we as end users needs the aid of technicians.

Up ko lang yun thread...

May nakita ang tatay ko na Sansui AU-V7000 sa isang surplus shop dito sa amin. Binebenta niya ng 5k lang ata sa pagkakasabi niya sa akin. Problem lang eh worn out daw yun wood sidings niya. Good buy na kaya ito?

markcrenz · « **Reply #254 on:** Aug 11, 2015 at 08:01 AM »

AFAIK Sansui did not make good AV receivers. I could be wrong though.

tony · « **Reply #255 on:** Aug 11, 2015 at 12:06 PM »

not in the tradition of their vintage stuff....
i will not even be surprised kung gawang china yan....

sandawa · « **Reply #256 on:** Aug 11, 2015 at 08:09 PM »

The AU-V7000 is an authentic Sansui amp released before the Japanese company closed down and among the limited number of AV receivers/amps produced. Here's the reference from an online Japanese vintage audio directory: http://www.audio-heritage.jp/SANSUI/amp/au-v7000.html. At almost 100,000 yen price, that would be equivalent to other AV amps sold in the US at a range of $1,000-$1,500 (maybe from P70k to P90k here with the huge margins of local retailers).

In my experience, the original Sansui AV line, which is so different from the China-made Sansui branded electronics, sounds surprisingly superior than comparable models released by other Japanese AV brands.

many of the famous american brands like Fisher, Marantz, etc, used offshore manufacturing and Tamura Radio Corporation of Japan got to build many of them.....i wonder if Sansui used Tamura Radio as well...

testament11 · « **Reply #259 on:** Aug 12, 2015 at 01:33 PM »

Salamat sa mga sumagot.

I have yet to see the receiver in person. Bukas ko siya makikita doon sa nagtitinda. Try ko kunan ng pics kung pwede. Sasabihan ko na tatay ko na mag-prepare na siya ng pera pambili nun or else uunahan ko siya hahaha!

Sabi pa sa amin nung nagtitinda niyan, meron pa siyang isang Sansui, AU-67x ata ang pagkakasabi niya. Sabi ko nga sa tatay ko, maganda kung madadala nung seller yun doon sa amin nang makilatis

Tamura I believe was a transformer supplier to Sansui for many years. But the biggest supplier was Hashimoto.

Bando, a malaysian based japanese transformer maker did most of the traffos for many japanese amps during the later years.....https://www.tamura-ss.co.jp/en/corporate/profile.html
Hashimoto used to supply traffos for Sansui tube amplifiers...very excellent maker....

Ok, here's the AU-V7000 in person

Ni-audition na rin namin. Kaso sabi ng erpats ko, parang sabog daw ang rear. Tapos pansin niya, pag nilipat yun jumper, tsaka gaganda yun output ng rear. Concern pa niya, kung ganun ang output ng rear, what more pa pag nag 5.1 config daw. Ewan ko kung tama ang sinasabi niya.

Meron pa daw binebentang AU-607 yun may-ari. Sabi ko nalang eh dalhin sa Sunday nang ma-audition at makilatis.

mabigat ang tanong nya.....and since hindi ko nahawakan, wala akong comment....
like any other japanese amps, merong fad cycles, makers of transistor devices
comes up with base designs as to how to use their devices, all engineered to boost sales...

so sad when our house was being repaird by sister gave a Sansui AU 717 to the carpenter. I asked why she said it is faulty and no one is using it. damn she was not aware how much is this. was really hearbroken as this was bought by dad when he went to a conference in japan in 1980. i am now here in NZ doing some buy and sell. I was able to get a AU217 and a LM110 speaker for NZD 50! they are really good. planning to keep but need to pay mortgage so need to sell.
