Hello,
I have a CM-1090 that I purchased brand new from a Lechmere store back in the day. Wow, that was a minute ago. This thing has been a champ running a pair of Cerwin-Vegas with 12" woofers since the beginning.
Age has taken a toll though. One meter lamp went out years ago, no biggie. Oh, and the power button only lasted about 5 years of ownership LOL.
Now, however, it started flickering the CD Direct function on and off semi-rapidly cutting the audio source (typically TV) on and off. Thought I'd open it up and clean the switch with DeoxIT, but there are more issues to be found. R779 on the main board is burnt and loose. Caps are bulging.
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Any thoughts and suggestions welcome! Would probably prefer to get it back in shape some how...
