Fixing the remaining 100Hz mains hum issues the 1974 vintage Sansui 881 Receiver had. Replacing the main filter capacitors and renewing some ground connections.

Part 1 (Restoration of this receiver) is here: https://youtu.be/AG0GsYSAcfE

Here's the tutorial for properly fixing the common hum issues caused by design flaws in some of the 881 receivers (there are different versions of the PCB it seems): http://conradhoffman.com/Sansui_881_mods.htm

The capacitors I used are Mundorf Mlytic 10000uF 63V.

The tracks used for the soldering/timelapse portions of the video and testing the amp were kindly provided by Focus 10 aka Øystein Hansen. Thank you! Check out more of his work here: https://soundcloud.com/user-993847645

Focus 10's tune "8-bit wannabe" is now also available as a single from CDBaby/iTunes/Spotify: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/focus101
