newbie with yamaha 3020

Actually it is now on my workbench as it needs an FM alignment. Given the number of pieces the tuner board was in I am amazed that it even gets FM. And when I tipped it up on its side to remove the bottom plate there were four fuses wrapped in aluminium foil and one 20A where it called for 10A. I just wish that people would stop letting these ham-fisted tech wannabees work on good stuff, give them a Yorx to play with. Cleared out a blown resistor in the 12V supply on the power board and its starting to look better.
 
The last time I saw one of those babies was at a friends apartment in Stow Ohio. He had broken a leg on his sofa was using the Yamaha to prop it up. Held it up pretty good too.

Anyone know what one of these cost new? I think I paid around $700 for my 2020 in 78. That was a a lot of money back then.

Its actually left to my brother in my will, but only if I get eaten by a shark. Otherwise it get buried with me.
