I have an otherwise working Sansui 7000 amp, but FM is incredibly weak and AM gets very strong bleed-over from Aux. I'm hoping to correct both problems, but I'm assuming that they have separate causes and I'm far more concerned with the FM.
At first, I thought FM was just completely out. I could hear constant static, but nothing else. I cleaned all of the controls, including the Muting adjustment on the back, and hooked up a dipole antenna. Now I can faintly hear a local radio station which I normally get in Stereo without an antenna on other receivers. There is no noticeable deflection in either of the meters, which leads me to believe that the problem is very early on.
I do have an old tube-type RF signal generator and a scope, as well as the schematic and service manual, but not enough knowledge to track down the problem. Can anyone give me some pointers, or an explanation of how the front end is supposed to work?
