    Yamaha CA-1000 pilot lamp

    I need confirmation that my Yamaha CA-1000 pilot lamp is for sure a 12v 60ma bulb. Would any 12v bulb work? Or a 12v LED instead? Thanks in advance!!

    Yamaha CR-800 meter lamps wont work.

    I recently picked up a super clean CR-800 and of course all of the lamps were out. I got some LEDs on ebay and started swapping them out. When I turned the power on, the dial indicator lamp worked, but all 3 of the meter lamps did not. I can't get any power reading at the meter lamp lugs...

    Is it bad to turn off the external pre-outed amplifier for front L/R speakers to only have Rear Stereo on my receiver?

    As the title says, I have a Yamaha RX-A4A receiver that pre-outs the Front L/R to an external Yamaha A-S1100 stereo integrated amp. I have the KEF R11’s as front on the external amp, and KEF R2C + KEF R3’s as center and surround speakers respectively (no subwoofer anywhere, for now). My...

    Yamaha CR1020 lights have stopped lighting up on the three meters

    Hi everyone. CR1020 continues to work beautifully after service and recap but the three light on the meter displays have recently stopped lighting up - I think simultaneously - although they had been working just fine. So where should I look first? Easy to say "replace the bulbs" but the fact...

    Yamaha CR-600 recap, cleaning and adjustments, one channel sound fading resolved

    Long story short (kinda) - I bought this unit in November as a faulty one. Turns on, no sound. Found out it was a blown fuse, but there's loud speaker pop when turning off. Left it as it was. Just learned to switch speakers to OFF before turning the unit off. Last week I noticed right channel...

    Sota Pyxi with my Yamaha GT-2000

    I have found that a little change can have vast consequences. My little change occurred when I found a very nice Kenwood KD-550 back in September 2019 while on a weekend visit to Montreal. The lady I bought it from was selling off her deceased husbands turntable, and had agreed to hold onto it...

    yamaha m-65 diagnostics and thermal, a tale of two yam's

    the first amp seemed somewhat straightforward and was a 120v model, no broken output terminals. amp number two originally had a smoked channel although no chernobyl nor 3 mile island event transpired (yet, night is still young) perhaps a windscale. interesting info about the above metaphor...

    LF pretty amp with VU meters and plenty of power and good value

    I only have my Pioneer AV-R to drive the B&W N803 at the moment. There's also my EL34 tube amp, but I'd rather not damage that baby, I guess (through using it constantly, I mean). Also, there's a little minime on the way, so the tube amp will likely have to disappear into storage for a couple...

    Yamaha M-80 Transistor location tr119 and tr125

    I'm working on an M-80 and believe TR119 and TR 125 are bad. I can't seem to find the location of them. I see them schematically but not in parts list nor on the main board which is what it looks like on the schematic. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Yamaha P2200 power amp - meter and lights cut out

    Yamaha P2200 power amplifier. The right channel’s huge meter and its lights cut out occasionally. A tap or two on top of the amp fixes things. I’d like to enjoy a more permanent fix; can anybody pinpoint where to look for a poor (solder) connection? Also, I remember hearing that the black...
