Luxman M02

True, Tpreaves, it is indeed my money. I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem with this particular unit and felt it was or wasn't worth dumping money into. I've had it setting around for years and feel it's time to toss it or try and get it fixed. I'll probably have it looked at and set a certain price that I won't go over.

I don't know, Elizabeth, I've tried it numerous times and it always does the same thing. I was told by a friend that Luxman used liquid filled capacitors around that era and over time they have a tendancy to dry out.

I just thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone could shed some light on the problem. It's a shame, it's a cool looking unit. I hate bailing on stereo gear.

Yeah, Bjpd57a1, my educated guess is the liquid-cooled heat sink having dried up over time. Once I get the speakers back, I'm going to pursue having the M02 repaired. I have no clue as to where to take it. The place where I purchase my new gear sort of turned their nose up when I mentioned bringing it in. They lead me to believe that older Luxman parts were difficult to find. I think they just didn't want to be bothered. I'll do a Google search for electronics repair in my area.
