All indicator lights are replaced with LEDs Case and smoked glass now flawless ANOTHER LEGEND RESURRECTED Description 250 WATTS PER CHANNEL/8 OHMS 330 WATTS PER CHANNEL/4 OHMS UPGRADED SPEAKER TERMINALS MULTIPLE VOLTAGE INPUT 110, 120, 220, 240 AC SERVICED AND TESTED *I listed a few feedbacks for your convenience below THIS YAMAHA AMPLIFIER WAS SENT TO ME BY A CUSTOMER FOR REPAIR AND RESALE. THE ORIGINAL SPEAKER TERMINALS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THE PLASTIC HAD BECOME EXTREMELY BRITTLE WITH AGE AND HEAT, WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF SPEAKER TERMINAL. IT'S A SHAME, AS ORIGINAL SPEAKER TERMINALS DO NOT REFLECT THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE REST OF THE AMPLIFIER. IT'S A HEAVY AMP AND THE POWER SUPPLY USES TWIN POWER TRANSFORMERS. THE REPAIR: ALL OLD SPEAKER TERMINALS, SPEAKER WIRING, AND SPEAKER RELAY BOARDS WERE REMOVED. A 3" X 8" BACKING PLATE OF 3/16" THICK ABS PLASTIC WAS CUT AND FITTED TO REAR PANEL OF AMP. 6 PAIRS OF 5-WAY BINDING POSTS WERE INSTALLED ON THE PLATE. ALL SOLDERING WAS SILVER SOLDER. ORIGINAL TERMINALS COULD ONLY ACCEPT BARE WIRE ENDS. THE 5-WAY POSTS CAN ACCEPT ALL NORMAL SPEAKER WIRING CONNECTORS: BARE WIRE, SPADES, BANANA, or PINS. THIS INSTALLATION IS TREMENDOUSLY STRONGER THAN THE STOCK SET-UP. ELECTRONICALLY, THE AMP HAS BEEN RESTORED TO LIKE NEW CONDITION. THE INDICATOR LIGHTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH LEDS. ALL PARTS REPLACED ARE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER'S HIGH END COMPONENTS. This particular amp had two Rubycon black gate capacitators replaced, as well as two Nickhicon muse capacitators. These amps have a unique sound, and to retain that you can only use ORIGINAL equipment. COMPLETELY CLEANED AND SERVICED. ATTENUATORS AND SWITCHES CLEANED. DISTORTION LEVELS MEASURED IN SPEC. AMP EXCEEDS 250 WATTS (8 OHMS) IN EACH CHANNEL, WITHOUT CLIPPING. AMPLIFIER OPERATES FLAWLESSLY. METERS PROPERLY LIGHT UP. I HAVE RUN THE AMP HARD THROUGH SOME (4 OHM) MAGGIES. AMP RUNS WARM, AS NORMAL, WITH EXCELLENT SOUND. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. AMPLIFIER PROVIDES SPEAKER SWITCHING FOR 3 SEPARATE PAIRS OF SPEAKERS. AN UNUSUAL OPTION, NOT FOUND ON MOST AMPS. COSMETICS: THE AMP HAS BEEN RESTORED BACK TO EXCELLENT, LIKE NEW CONDITION. SMOKED GLASS METER COVER HAS NO SCRATCHES. MINT CONDITION. OVERALL CONDITION OF AMP IS EXCELLENT. COPY OF OWNERS MANUAL IS INCLUDED. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUILD A 5:1 OR 7:1 SYSTEM, THIS AMP IS A MUST. I USE 5 OF THESE AMPS IN MY PERSONAL SYSTEM, AND I AM TELLING YOU, THIS BABY MOVES WALLS. I HAVE WORKED ON AMPS THAT COST $6,000-$10,000, AND THEY HAVE NOTHING ON THIS AMP. THIS M-80, THE M-85 AND THE MX-1000 ARE TIMELESS AMPS. THEIR CRYSTAL CLEAR HIGHS AND WALL-MOVING LOW FREQUENCY ARE UNMATCHED. WANT AN UNBIASED OPINION ON WHAT THIS AMP CAN DO?
