Sansui 9090db powers up but no sound

Hello everyone, first let me say that this community is incredible. I learn more by browsing forums than any other resource. 
Today, I discovered a 9090db for sale with the description "powers up but has no sound". 
Before I pull the trigger on a purchase, can you give me a heads up on what may be some factors to this problem?
Also, can anyone recommend a repair establishment on the east coast for this if I buy it?

Thank you for all your wisdom,

Marty

I have a Sansui 8080 and the answer about the jumpers is brilliant.  The 9090db & 8080 are extremely similar.  One thing that happened to mine is the selector switch for inputs had issues a few times.  We are talking 30+ years ago, but I believe the tech had to re-solder the contacts back on a couple times.  Also the speaker selector switch had the same issues.  But as posted prior it could be a lot things.  Good luck.  My amp rocked my world for many years.  So much so that my daughter used in in her college years in the early 2000's.
