QuestionI have a Sansui G3000 receiver that has been a real workhorse for me, but of late, it cuts in and out. If I manipulate the Selector knob, it comes back for a short period. I'm assuming a short or wear in the knob. Is it possible to replace that (or is it cost prohibitive), or should I just buy a new receiver (any recommendations, if that's the answer)? I run everything through it; tape, CD/DVD, TV, and still use the radio as well.
Also, I have a Marantz SD221 cassette player that no longer moves the tape. It has a quiet hum when on, but I've tried various tapes, to no avail. Any suggestions on that as well?
Thanks for your time and help
Answer1) Sansui G3000 - Needs a general overhaul including the cleaning of all of the switches and controls. This is common and should be no more than $75-$100 in a local shop. I repair these all the time.
2) Marantz SD221 - This unit needs belts and a good cleaning. Again this is a common issue. These are a bit tricky to work on though. These are solid units and are worth repair. Try to locate someone that has worked with Marantz equipment.
