I have a sansui 6060 receiver that sounds great and everything about it works, but the left side has the sound that sounds like embers burniong of the tip of a camp fire. This sound is present when volume is turned all the way down, on all input stages and when listed to on head phones. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Perhaps it has a bad solder or possibly a bad resistor or transistor. You would think that a bad transistor would simply give a dead channel, but I've had 'em go bad like that. To me, when it happens, it sounds like there's arcing inside the substrate.

Ross,

Audio Karma has a Sansui Lovers forum. Lots of very knowledgeable Sansui fans there.

I have a 6060 on the bench right now with the same problem. The problem was found to be the 2SC727 transistors in the driver Board. I replaced them with MPS A18 transistors and all is fine now. Frequently in 50 year old equiptment transistors become noisy.
