Hello!
New here... But, Hope to contribute what i can, As well as learn as much as i can.
I have an (80's?) Yamaha Natural Sound R-3 Receiver that had a hard life before i got it.
It's been functionally working just fine for several weeks, With only a little bit of scratchy distortion when using some of the front controls.
Today i powered it up and it (seemed) to not do anything, But i heard the relay click...
I tried the Inputs and it turns out I get sound just fine from CD and AUX but, The Tuner and Front Panel Lights/LCD/LEDS + Tuner related buttons seem to be completely dead now?
All the non-tuner related front panel controls seems to work just fine still...
I've prodded around for loose connections and cold solders, Found nothing related to that problem~But found that the Input Selector seems to be touchy (Resoldered it, Stays the same~Internal). Almost positive its unrelated to the tuner problem though.
Nothing physically looks damaged inside, I'm clueless at this point...
Any ideas as to whats wrong with the Tuner and Display? Worth fixing?
