I just bought this piece on Ebay, kind of a spur-of-the-moment purchase.
I hope I do not come to regret it, but I've been wanting an older Yammie for a while now and the price was right ($40). From the seller's description, I believe he misunderstood the FM muting feature as a malfunction of some kind.
The item in question:
Do not have in hand yet, obviously. I know that the lights on the tuning meter and dial are both out, but the FM/AM/stereo LED's are fine. Otherwise, all it supposedly needs is a good cleaning, and maybe buff the faceplate and knobs up a little bit for appearance's sake?
I plan on using this with JBL 630 speakers, which are 4 ohms. The photo of the back panel showed a 4-ohm maximum load, and you can run two sets of speakers simultaneously, so I don't expect any problems there. Would my thinking be correct?
If all goes well, I plan to swap this in for my current Technics integrated amp. Which should be a significant loss in pure wattage, but I'm thinking the "Yamaha sound" (and that variable loudness control) will make it a worthwhile trade-off.
Any other ideas on what to look for would be appreciated, thanks!
