Growing up, my dad had all vintage Yamaha gear. My first "tinkering" at the age of 3-4 came with moving all the toggle switches on his CA-810 amp, and spinning the dial on his CT-610 II. Awhile back I restored that system for him, and have been wanting a new audio project ever since. I've had a couple friends push the Pioneer SX series on me. Just restored a SX-880 last week and loved it. However, I keep coming back to wanting a 70's Yamaha setup. I love the looks and the memories it brings back.
I decided to go big and bought a burnt up CR-2020 on eBay this past weekend. I'll post picts once it arrives and detail progress on restoration. I plan to redo the veneer and repaint the top vent in addition to the service bulletins and a general recap. Look for updates in the coming weeks! Should get the unit in 10 business days or so.
