How many watts does Sansui AU 717 integrated amplifier have?
I was going to give away my AU-717 integrated amp (85 watts), but after comparing it to a newer Yamaha and a Denon Amp/Receiver (100-120 watts that I ended up returning )for my home theater setup, I changed my mind and decided to keep this old geeser AU-717. This guy kicks ass than those 2 new ones I tried.
What was the name of the first Sansui amplifier?
That was the reason that Sansui introduced the first pre-main (integrated) tube amplifier SM-88 in Japan. Sansui introduced only two more tube integrated amplifiers, AU-70 and AU-111, before they moved forward to the solid state silicon transistor amplifier, AU-777 in 1967.

The main thing to check is the fuse resistors, these are a known problem and will most likely be out of specification (they will go high in resistance value). The 317 is a very nice amp.
