[QUOTE="Qualityten, post: 966774, member: 17776"] It is a nice mid-fi amp from the mid 1960s. Some pics here: https://www.audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/sansui-220.521305/ It uses ECL82 (US name 6BM8) valves, which are very sweet sounding. If you remove the base and look inside you will see many grey, tubular caps. These are paper in oil and tend to dry out an fail. This is also a possibility with the big multi-section can capacitor visible on top in front of the power transformer. Modern equivalents are available and forum members can advise about replacing them. If you can solder, you can do this yourself. [/QUOTE]
