One of the best things about vintage audio is being able to buy pieces that we longed for back in our youth.
In the 1970s, my best friend's father owned a Pioneer SX-1010, the first 100wpc receiver. I was amazed by it when I was 8 years old. It would be a little expensive to buy one and restore it, but if I see one at a good price (and that won't need to be shipped), I may not be able to resist.
Does your new Yamaha need any repair to bring it into service?

The seller says its not. The Cr-1020 is 100% for sure he said. Otherwise I can send it back.

Yes, Congratulations on your CR-1020. I remember when I purchased mine brand new, back in the Fall of 1977. It WAS definately pricey. I remember that it cost me $640, tax and all. ;-( But it ended up being totally worth it in the long run. I still have it today, and it's never been recapped.

Well it arrived yesterday.
I connected the speakers and the streamer and turned on the power. All lights work but unfortunately no sound. I also didn't hear a click from the relay. I think he is very dead.
I now have a discussion with the seller about the continuation........

Well, that sucks! Good luck getting it going. They are a fine receiver.
