It's the simple things in life which bring us the greatest pleasure. I was generously gifted this vintage Yamaha CR-840 receiver back in high school by a dear friend. It was manufactured between 1979-81 (my birth year) and has faithfully provided me with beautiful sound all these years.
Of course, periodic maintenance is required for a 40-year old amp and four of the switches/selectors/dials had built up quite a bit of static. So this morning, I picked up a bottle of Deoxit, opened the amp and gave it a good cleaning, (admittedly my first time performing the task), and now she's singing beautifully once again.
A $7 solution for a life-long source of joy. #buyvintage
