That is very cool looking. Vintage Microsystems. I hope all works out!
Yep. Corners were cut.
Best of luck getting that channel back.
Hopefully it's an easy fix.

Just brought these 2 home for $80
Look what I left behind
I know, I should go back for the AVR-5600. But don't really want to spend another $50 today, so I'll leave it for someone else.
Nice scores. The 3D Denon looks to be very interesting. Hopefully, the HDMI stuff works. The AVR-5600 was one of the top offerings that year. Any Denon with toroidal transformer is going to sound very good in stereo mode.
On a side note, that has to be the cleanest GW I have ever seen. Where are the crowds? Where is the junk in the aisles?

The 5600 has a screw missing from the top of the case. It might be a headache waiting to happen.

Goodwill Outlet find. It was one of two in a half a bin full that wasn't broken. Haven't listened yet, but it's a chore to break out the dj table.

A little more than a year ago I found this Pioneer SX-424 on the auction site for the "buy-it-now" price of $35.00, what I believe to be only hours after it was put up.
It was described as "works like a vintage receiver should" (whatever that means!) I bought it as my first attempt at repairing / restoring vintage gear.
Well, this thing was very clean when I got it, and when I tested it out all it needed was the mode selector cleaned out with Deoxit.
So much for making an attempt at the repair/restore thing.

This one is usually in a state of forever black friday. But recently we've had so much rain, the locals act the way cities do when they get snowed in. Let me put it this way, my local thrift stores only have blazers in the men's jacket section, and it's a short rack.
If these 2 AVR are fully functional, I may have to just store them away in case I ever decide to upgrade to 4k. The Integra in particular has 4k upscaling on all inputs.

I'm of the camp that if it sounds good and functions right I'll leave it alone.Thats a clean example you have there.

Yeah, it's a DTR 30.3, I'm thinking of keeping it for if I ever upgrade to 4k. Interesting, it has a VGA output, trigger outs, onkyo r1, network RJ45, and a 4k upscaler for all analog video inputs.

That's the right kind of problem to have.

Realistic STA-2600 (100wpc) My wife was on lunch yesterday and stopped by her local GW. She will send me pics of stuff from time to time, but nothing I'm ever interested in....but then this showed up and for $7.99, I told her to BUY IT! Got it home, cleaned it up and other than needing a deoxit treatment- it sounds great. Missing a Bass knob but I can live with that until I can source one. I told her she did a great job!

Went to the bi-monthly GW outlet yard sale this morning and missed on a Sansui AU-717 for $100. Not sure how early the winner arrived but there was a long line 20 minutes before opening. There were a couple of Fostex pro audio TT's that didn't interest me. No joy for audio but the non-audio booty was in abundance:
Qty 5(!) HP 48S scientific calculators
Garmin 265W with windshield mount and all accessories
Vintage Sears bicycle speedometer, NOS in box
M Audio Firewire Solo recording interface
Alabama Crimson Tide golf stand bag
Sun Mountain golf bag w/ large bag of tees
Motorola baby camera (missing viewer)
Sony Playstation 3 wireless control battery charger
Apple Final Cut Pro 5
XBOX 360 wired controller
Nikon USB power supply
