Hi Avionic , My name is Carlo I've had my CA-1000 since 1978 it died eventually in 1990
was told at the time it couldn't be repaired but I didn't believe them, just recently I came across this site and you , I would like to bring the CA-1000 back to life but only to be used as a pre-amplifier with one my AX-592 amps I feel the AX-592 have an inferior quality pre-amp section , my question to you is this what is the one part in the CA-1000 that would make re-birthing pointless , the transformers maybe? I hope my question makes sense , I am willing to spend around $600 to re-birth it.
