Thanks, maybe I'll try to take the case of first and clean up any obvious deposits and see if that helps. I grew up with this behemoth and it was handed down to me from my pa. My first stereo.... not bad. It's a couple years older than me.

and what a powerhouse!! 2 discrete monoblocks at 150wpc. whistle Weighs over 50lbs.

I still have the original hand written receipts and manuals from when he picked them up in 1978. Funny thing is, years later I unknowingly visited the same store (different name) and bought a home theater package. Like father like son, eh!
