One big issue: dead as a doornail.
On the scrap metal pile at the dump last week. In the rain. But cosmetically like new. Heavy mortar forker, too. Black, but not plastic. Crap? Who can tell?
Brought home (I am such a sucker); dried out. Tested. Nada. Popped the top. Found three fuses, all good. This is modern enough that it has no "hard" power switch at all. I assume the "PRO" moniker refers to Dolby Pro Logic.
Onkyo has the owners manual online (which is nice of them): http://63.148.251.135/redirect_service.cfm?type=own_manuals&file=tx_sv515pro.pdf
The only reason that I am posting this is that hope springs eternal. Perhaps one of you sees the thread title and says, "oh, yeah... there's that one resistor on the P/S board that fries. Gets 'em every time." As opposed to saying "nice black doorstop you've got there, pal". Or maybe "there's 15 more fuses under one of those PC boards, lunkhead!"
Fortunately the dump has a generous return policy... but I figured I might as well ask before I take advantage of it.
Thanks as always!
