    Service for Yamaha CR-2040 Chicago area

    Hello, I am helping my elderly father sort through his belongings, and came across the receiver I remember from my high school days, and had forgotten about, a Yamaha CR-2040. It's in beautiful condition, but no sound comes out. I've tried all the inputs- tuner, phono, tape, aux (CD), even just...

    Yamaha CR-2040 Shorted During DC/Bias/Voltage Adjustment

    Well, I'm pretty new to this and probably have no business digging into the likes of a CR-2040, but this is what I've found to pass the time and I'm enjoying every second of it. I picked this CR-2040 up for $200 knowing it was cosmetically great aside from being dirty and there was no sound out...

    Finished up my Yamaha CR-2040

    Hi all! New member here, I recently picked up a CR-2040 for about $30. Most of the knobs where either scratchy or not working. All the lights were dead. I replaced all the lights cleaned and lubed all the pots and I’m happy to say that I have a fully functioning receiver. Would a Cap restoration...

    Turntable/Record Player Recommendation

    Right now, I'm rocking a Denon DP-23F through my Yamaha CR-2020 and CR-2040. I like the sound through both receivers. So, I'm still deciding which I'll use for my day-to-day vinyl. I may use one for vintage vinyl and another for more modern vinyl. And I'm sure I'll be enjoying it even more once...

    My Yamaha Receiver Collection

    This is my Yamaha Stack. I know everything looks just a bit cramped. I specifically situated it this way just for this picture. The speakers are normally a bit further apart from the receivers. Anyway here's what I'm currently rockin' my vinyl with: Denon 23f phonograph on top Yamaha CR-820...

    CR-2040 Phono Selector Switch?

    Just got my 2040 delivered to my door today. And I'm going over it very carefully. The faceplate needed a bit of cleaning along with a few pots. And the case may need a little attention from a furniture pen. But, overall I'm actually pretty impressed. It's actually in much nicer shape than I was...

    Best speaker recommendations to use with Yamaha CR series receivers

    Got a CR-820, 2020, and about to put my hands on a 2040 that should be at my door any moment now. My question: What speakers would you recommend for these receivers? I tend to listen to classic rock (mostly 1970's era, but also some before and after), along with a little bit of country here...

    Yamaha CR2040 died while changing lamps

    I was changing the lamps in my CR2040, and had turned it on to check them. The was a small "pop" near one of the bulbs like the leads at the bulb had touched the frame and shorted out. Now nothing works - no lamps, no meters, nothing. Checked both fuses and they look ok. Is there a circuit...

    CR-2040 : recap experiences ?

    I am tempted to recap at least the phono stage of CR2040 - there seem to be lot of caps in the signal path. When I recapped my KEF Cantata speakers, all caps were off by at least 15%, and smallest were off up to 300%. CR-2040 probably runs hotter than the speaker crossover, so I would definitely...
