Hello fellow hi-fi nuts. I´m sure i´m not the only one who have collected a not so sane amount of stuff over the years.
I am starting off sort of easy with the new series
your gonna see real wrecks later on.
Since my daughter is soon moving to her own place she wanted some good old hi-fi. So i had a look around and found the Yamaha rack a neighbor was throwing out like 10-12 years ago. I was like yeah sure man i can take it so you don´t have to drive it to the dump.
It´s a black rack with glass doors and wheels and this deck a RX-330 receiver, cdx- 420 CD player and a TT-230 LP lathe and some crappy Yamaha speakers with 8" woofers and a cone tweeter. the latter probably will end up as backup test speakers for the bench.
Don´t know anything about the stuff other than it is from the very early 90´s, And that this deck is playing tapes but it sounds super dull.
Probably dust from 1991 on top of that.

Not much inside these! But i have to say that Yamaha decks from this era always just works.
Belt for the tape counter is gone tho, Its probably wound up on the take up spool.
Looking clean inside, I could tell it has never been opened, You could feel it on the lid screws.

I am surprised to see flashy looking Elna caps in here!
Also look at that regulator. They designed the board to accommodate a heatsink but then decided it was too expensive to actually install it.

Even more nice looking Elna caps!. Audio caps? They say "Duorex"
