|   Yamaha CR-2020 reciever | sam46
Mar 2, 2003 9:59 PM | | I have a Yamaha CR-2020 reciever apart on my bench that I have messed with off and on for the last few months. I found it for a few bucks at a garage sale and it powered up put both channels were dead. I have narrowed the problem down to two voltage regulators, one diode, and a few resistors in the power supply that would probably get it working. The amp sections seem to be fine, just not getting any DC to them. I am not familair with this reciever and need to either finish it or get it off the bench for another project. It appears to be a VERY well built reciever. Has anyone ever had one of these and know if it sounds good enough to be worth messing with? Thanks. |

Mar 22, 2003 7:24 PM | | Well, this one isn't too handsome, it is a little beat up. I stacked it in the closet with all the rest of the unfinished projects and will get back to it someday. I did cobble up some circuits and got it to play, it did sound really good, but there were some overheating issues so I shut it off. This is nothing that I would sell on eBay, it has problems, but I will hang onto it, and get back to it eventually. I like old Pioneer and Marantz stuff, and am not too familiar with Yamaha, and I need a schematic for this one. Thanks. |
