Yamaha Amp and Tuner Score!

I bought a Yamaha A-1000 and T-1000 for $15 each at a local thrift store last Tuesday night. I was there taking something back when I decided to see if they had anything. Luckily, I went during a snowstorm and hardly anyone was there. The only issue at all is a slightly scratchy bass control on the amp.

Sorry about the lousy photo, but I shot it in the dark. Also as you can see, I haven't cleaned it yet, but I have been listening to it for the last 4 nights. Sounds great.

Thanks all. Tonight after work I plan on de-oxing the bass pot and giving it a good cleaning. Then I'm going to put it in the living room connected to my Celestion Ditton 44s.
 
Sadly my best thrift store audio score is a pair of RTR speakers for $20. A friend of mine has scored thousands of dollars worth of vintage audio gear at local thrift shops. I know it's his fault I'm not finding the good stuff.:D

Congrats on the Yamaha score!
