Yamaha CR-820 Vintage AM FM Stereo Receiver Silver Face (1977) (AS IS)
Vintage Receiver – As-Is with Character and Potential
This vintage receiver is being sold as-is and is perfect for tinkerers, restorers, or audio enthusiasts looking for a rewarding project. While it does have its quirks, it still shows signs of life and functionality:
-
Tuner Dial Operational: The tuner dial moves smoothly and functions mechanically, though it's currently not picking up stations—ideal for someone with the skills to diagnose and restore.
-
Working Inputs: All input channels are functional and deliver sound. To achieve optimal volume, it does require turning the knob to around the halfway point.
-
Great Restoration Candidate: With its classic design and partially working components, this receiver could be a gem in the right hands.
Whether you're looking for a unique piece to restore or a parts unit with potential, this receiver offers a solid foundation at a great value.

Functional Condition: This receiver has many problems and is being sold as is. The tuner dial functions, but it won't pick up any channels. The inputs function, but you need to turn it up to half volume to get a good level of volume to come from the speakers.
