Welcome back, @SteveFord.

Love some of your epic posts of the past..., and some images that push the limits..., 😉 

The more things change, the more they stay the same!   Glad you're back.

Welcome to the Carver Fraternity..., 

Let the Hazing Begin !   Shots of OCCD, until ..., well, it's a journey.

Welcome !

Great video..., thank you for posting.

If you are a reader, these two books will fill in a lot of gaps, too.

and

Welcome, @Tailgate.

If you like cosmetic matches..., think about a Carver C-2.

That's a great amp!  I have one in my office system.

Here's an image of another member's ( @zumbini ) system, all small-format components like your m200t.

m200t on top, Carver TX-2 tuner, then Carver C-2 preamp, and under that, a DTL-50 CD player.  (yes, the faceplate colors vary..., just the way it is with Carver 😉 )

Welcome @Hal, Rolland will do good work.  There are others, too, as your OCCD takes you down the rabbit hole! 

Welcome to the forum, glad you found us.

When you get your gear back, we love pictures ! 😉 

Sounds good - good to know - and hopefully someone here is interestd...

Pictures are of the essence!

Welcome!

Welcome, @submariner, you found the right place, and lots of good experience to share on your question.

I'm going to guess, that you will want to compare for yourself!  get both,..., you can't have too much Carver gear. 😉

WHAT is going on in Alabama??

 

Good question... 

Welcome @gabbyhayes, glad you are here !

Do you have any Carver gear?  for listening?  on your bench?

Always like hearing bits of history and wisdom from experience.

Some guys here play, and have guitar amps, they fix, and share stories here too... don't be shy about sharing a non-Carver story in a thread.  

Welcome to the forum. 

Welcom @Tomkat - you found the right place! 

I have one of those receivers..., waiting in my to-be-refreshed queue..., 

Too much gear, so little time. 😉  Lots of fun and good times on this site for the Carver offiianado in you.

Welcome to the Carver Party !  

Great story - can't wait to learn more about your OCCD journey.

Lots of good stuff here.  And, good people.

We had just watched this movie...

It’s back to practicing paradiddles because I am awful now. 
 

Great and timely movie !

Simply Awesome..., 

Welcome @Blueprintt, Glad you found us.

Like @PMAT, I can relate to your party story too..., I have a pair of Peavey SP-2A studio monitors - the older models, with fabric surrounds, and horns..., that just jam for parties..., Today, I use them for Karaoke when the kids come home for holidays.

Love your story on how you are coming full circle.  You have found the right place.  There are a number of folks here, contemporaries, that experienced the 60's 70's and 80's...

Or, another way to put it, have experienced Bob Carver's Phase Linear, Carver Corp., and Bob Carver products, respectively speaking !

Looking forward to hearing about your journey.

Oh, look in the Manuals Library (main menu) and you'll find the manuals you seek.  Also, there's a lot of good support tech help here from experts (not me) as you refresh, if that is your path.

If you are looking for refined speakers..., check out any number of speaker threads that will keep you busy..., and check out @Daddyjt,'s thread(s) on NHT speakers out of Benecia, CA (American assembled from Chinese Parts)... - these are really getting a following paired with Carver amps, recently.

Again, Welcome !

Welcome @Jeffery Finkbeiner - glad you found us.

Check with @kve777 he's a receiver expert, and parts hoarder 😉 

Welcome @David brinkmeyer.

Love your target system.  What amp?

Be patient.  save your money, until the "right" unit in the condition you desire comes along.

Love my C-19, too.

Thanks,

 

We have a M1.0t non inverted amp trying to get it going for my son, he rescued it from the electronic recycling center.

Nice Save !!

Welcome @bfg4wd.  

What (gear?) brings you here?

By your handle,... I'm guessing you are into 4wd vehicles?  We have a section on Jalopnik..., for car nuts that live here too !

Looking forward to hearing about your Carver journey.

Welcome to the site, @Taylor K. glad you found us..., that TFM45 will pull you into OCCD - FAST!

Welcome to the party !

You'll enjoy that unit!

Welcome to the site..., Glad you Found Us !

Looking forward to hearing stories about your journey into OCCD (Obsessive Carver Collecting Disorder)

Welcome to the site.  The main menu above on the main login screen will help you find the manuals.

Many of us use Mouser.com or Digikey.com for sources of components.  Mouser out of TX, seems to be the highest level of CS..., for me.  DigiKey is also very reliable.  Sometimes one vendor will have items the other does not - or better prices..., it is time-consuming research, and both sites have "specifier" wizards..., for dimensions, type, voltage, etc., to narrow down the possibilities in their inventor.

Welcome to the site!  Post a thread on your restoration..., with pictures, of course!  many here will chime in with helpful guidance.

Welcome !  Glad you found us.
