YAMAHA CA - 1010 VINTAGE INTEGRATED STEREO AMPLIFIER
Item History & Price
Condition is Used.
This is an amplifier that a friend of mine had for several years and I bought it from him a couple years ago.
Amplifier works great but has an intermittant problem with left and right channels dropping in and out randomly on occasion.
This is quickly resolved by turning the speaker selector to the "off" position and then turning the volume knob up and down a few times very quickly -whic...h brings both channels on again - sometimes it's good for several hours after that.
Again, the amp sounds great when both channels are up and running but obviously it needs some attention to get it back to 100%.I guess I'm finally annoyed with it enough to let it go to someone else who can hopefully recondition it and fully enjoy it, because this amp does sound amazing.
Also, it appears that the speaker terminals have been replaced somewhat crudely along the way but they work fine, and as you can see by the pictures the wood case is pretty rough and has been glued back together as well.
I'm not an electronic tech but I think this would still be a good unit to recondition (even though the overall cosmetics are a little rough) and if not maybe use it for parts - you decide. It really does sound awesome even through my cheap sony bookshelf speakers!
However, due to the amplifiers age and current condition, this auction and sale is of course "as is" with no returns accepted
Thank you for looking.
