Yamaha CT-7000 - Fault: Mono Output - for spares or repair. Up for auction on eBay.

[Board Room]

Hi Everyone

My first time posting an entry here. See my intro in the welcome section.

I currently have a much cherished Yamaha CT-7000 for sale. Up for on auction on eBay. I started the auction at £1 and it's currently up to to £31. The auction ends on Friday 24th at 11 pm.

Unfortunately, it has a fault...the output is mono only. The stereo light doesn't come on so I'm guessing the fault is in the stereo decoding circuitry. I wondered if it was simply a blown lamp but after careful listening it is mono. Pressing the mono/stereo mode button makes no difference.

Everything else works OK. The tuning dial and all switches operate smoothly. The lighting and the meters work Externally it's in pretty good condition given its age, just a few marks on the wooden cover and the fascia. Internally it's pristine and almost as new.

If you have the expertise to fix it this could be an absolute bargain otherwise its a great resource for parts.

Pictures posted here and auction link in the message below.

Thanks.
