Needed it like a hole in the head, but didn't let that stop me from picking up a pretty nice Onkyo TX-7000 today. It is an "almost" one-owner unit, having come from an enthusiast that acquired it recently from the long-time original owner.
Despite being "only" 90wpc, it's my understanding it was Onkyo's TOTL receiver model in 1980. Seems to be a lot of love for these on AK. Build quality looks really good, although I'm disappointed to see a TOTL unit like this with a vinyl-covered metal case.
I was surprised that Hifi Engine had only a service manual available. I was hoping to also find an owner's manual, so I could study-up on how the fancy quartz-lock tuning is supposed to operate, and what all the buttons are for! I even checked for owner's manual on the next lower model, TX-5000, but Hifi Engine also had no service manual posted for that one.
Anyone have a TX-7000 owner's manual they can scan and share?
