Yamaha CD-820 with a broken flywheel

[dsdurkes]

Well, that's what the ad on Craigslist said. I wonder if it just needs restringing. If so, is this a big effort requiring special tools or can a fairly handy person manage? I'm offering $25 for the thing cause the "left channel is a bit murky" and needs a lamp along with the "flywheel" issue.

Thanks

Service manual should show you how to restring the dial cord.

Is that a CR-820? If the tuning knob is broken off, you might get one from a broken lesser unit.

:scratch2: Sounds like an AKer's unit listed elsewhere. I'd go for it.

If it is really 'broken' I have some flywheel assemblies in the parts bin.

Restringing, at first is a head twister, but you will get it . I'm sure thats it .

Yes, it's a CR-820. I am a bit worried about the seller saying the "left channel is a bit murky". Murky just isn't a technical term I'm familiar with. I offered $25 so might pick it up for $30.

Sounds like the tuner needs restringing. The photo shows the unit with a knob.

Thanks but I particularly like your signature line!

Excellent quote in your signature!

Meanwhile you can enjoy the other features of it besides the tuner, once you deal with the "murky" issue.

The CR-820 is a good receiver!

If I were you I would really go for it.
