I hope I did this right by starting a New Topic to introduce myself. I have a Carver 4000 pre-amp that my late husband and I have owned since approx 1983. He had kept it in condition and has sent it in for repairs at least once over those years. Now I have an issue with the power switch (button) and need some input and direction on how to fix it or get it fixed. I look forward to the expertise on this site. I miss listening to our album collection since the power switch went bad. Thanks, Teresa

Moderator(s)---feel free to move or copy to a more appropriate forum. Hi All---Recently "found" my C-2 preamp. Original owner, purchased almost 40 years ago. Did some quick testing, pot's obviously need cleaning, not really working well at all (get some audio from line inputs, but very, very poor). Cosmetically in good to very good condition (minor imperfections on case, bottom plate screws show some corrosion, possible VERY minor corrosion bubbling under cabinet/case coating/paint). Faceplate and knobs look very good, maybe a little cleaning to spiff up. Would love to pass to someone who wants to give it a new lease on life, or at least recycle some of the bits. Free for the asking (you pay shipping and, if I have to find special packaging, charged at cost for that). Available for local pickup--I am in northeast Florida (located between Jacksonville and Gainesville). Frequently in Gainesville and will to meet at a mutually convenient time and location. It had a good life for awhile with my NAD amp and Acoustat speakers (also have a set of Acoustat Ones with sub (sub driver replaced and speaker covers replaced--look good from the front, the staples in the back, not so much). Haven't run them up in about 6 years, but were working fine then. Also free to a welcoming home, but I'm not shipping those. Just reply or PM me if imterested in either....trying to declutter a small portion of my life. Paul

Thank you everyone! Going to just do it all. Just ordered all the parts. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. I only Paid $100 for the stack, so throwing another $300 into it is a no brainer! Thank you again!

Thank you all for your responses. Nope, not tech savy in this area........I do appreciate the information on Nelion. I will probably go that way. I wondered around the site a little and will do so some more. I love the Carver and really want it working again. Thanks, Teresa

Kenny Burrell, Midnight Blue (album)

Just listened to it again. That's a keeper.

Thank you. I need to get that one. Really like how it moves.

Stanley Turrentine, Hustlin' (album)

Prior to the last hangover that I had, it was also a couple of decades between the last one to the previous one. I think (hope) I'm good for this lifetime. Feel free to do the research and report back.

Hahaha. Wonder what that is like.

A nice, soothing Sunday morning album, probably would be great for a hangover, but I've not had one of those for a couple of decades. Just a guess.
