Up for sale today I have a very clean example of the holy grail of Yamaha amps the MX-1000. This amp is a beast. One of the most powerful amps made by Yamaha or likely any manufacturer in the 80's.
The amplifier is 1 ohm stable and simply has buttons on the front to select 2/4/8 ohm impedance. The amp has heaps of power, super low THD % and just cannot be beat by modern amplifiers. A comparable modern amplifier would likely be over $5000 today if you could e...ven find one with this much power. It of course has the attractive LED VU meters these classics are known for.
There are no noticeable scratches to be found. The lens for the display is mint. The little plastic side panels are cracked see pics, they're made of a thin plastic and are always cracked on these models. It's a small cosmetic piece not noticeable as it is on the sides, I was going to have them printed on a 3d printer for the cost of $25. One of the RCA inputs on the back is missing the contact, looks like it was probably pulled off by a tight RCA interconnect, not a big deal. The amp is non-op probably due to faulty transistors but no one has looked into it yet. I have opened it to take a look but nothing stands out. I bought it from the original owner that has stored it in a box since it malfunctioned just over 10 years ago.
I originally had planned to keep this amp in my own collection and do the repairs myself but I have recently been laid off due to the outbreak so unfortunately I will be selling off my collection, stay tuned for more.
If you're a big Yamaha collector here is your chance to own a legend for a fraction of the price particularly if you can repair it yourself.
Thanks for looking and have a great day :)
