Brought it down and brought it back to life after an hour of fidgeting with the controls and buttons a lot. I hooked it up to the Cerwin Vega's and whoa...what a treat I heard.
In quad mode. No speakers were hooked to the rear though. It was nice to see all 4 beams pulsating to the sound again.

A family friend is preparing to sell her parents' estate items, which include an Onkyo TX-4500 MkII receiver. I offered to do some testing and TLC to the unit. It is a real cherry of a vintage receiver
It really only needed some DeOxit on the pots and switches. Next will be the Dual CS-1268 turntable...I think it needs a new stuerpimpel. The speakers are HED/Cerwin-Vega two-way speakers (perhaps L-9), and the surrounds look just fine...I think the surrounds must have already been replaced at some point along the way; the cabinets and grills are in perfect condition; I still need to check the exact model number. Say what you want about CV speakers...but, the cabinets are SOLID. The drawer on the Technics CD player is stuck (will not eject), so not sure I will spend a lot of time on that; it's an SL-PG440 'MASH' player. The Christmas CD currently stuck in the player does sound quite lovely"This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

I've really enjoyed the Cerwin Vega's I've had here. I like BASS.
That receiver looks GREAT.
Where will the sale be held?Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
I picked up some gear and am setting up a vintage system in a small area in my basement. Found an old butcher block counter top and turned it into a rack to house everything. Walls are still bare but at least it's a start.
Looking for advice on the 7b's. The cabinets are rough so I was contemplating putting veneer on them. Not sure if I want all the wood matchy matchy. What wood and color should I stain them?

The sale will be here in Nashville... probably in Oct. The Onkyo receiver is certainly shippable...the HED/CV speakers, not so much. Those are quite big and DEEP. I can take pics of them if needed."This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine

Actually joking aside that's not a bad idea! Already enough wood in there. Maybe I'll try a black vinyl wrap on them.
