Yamaha cr1020 Ive got a project to do tomorrow. I have got some major dust issues and i would like to remove box off stereo. Im guessing it slides out back of unit. Is the box anchored down by the screws on bottom of unit? The back side of this stereo has some major dust. Im going to lightly vacuum it off. Clean backside before wanting to open it up and see how bad inside is----i have all intent to have it serviced by Electronics n More but id like to open it up myself. I have not had a chance to look it over yet so i thought id drop a post and get tips on what to look for..thanks for any help

Yeah, I think on most of the CR-xx20 receivers the wooden "sleeve" is held on by five screws on the bottom. This was fairly common in Japanese receivers of the 1960s into the 1970s, dating back to the days when the wooden cases were extra-cost options! The bottom screws should - if memory serves - have large metal 'washers' that are probably actually square, with turned down (well - turned up, really!) points at their vertices which grip into the wood on the bottom of the sleeve. Should be pretty obvious.
My CR-1020 is still in the basement here - I can dig it out and take a photo if need be :-)
The service manual's at http://sportsbil.com/yamaha/cr-1020-sm.pdf The copy isn't terribly clean but it does show, and explain, the cabinet removal on the ninth page (just enlarge the pages 'til you can see them clearly). The US and EU cabinets are different (as noted in the SM). -
Thank you Very Much I think all those model are about the same to come off. I will post some before and after pics of the dust. The back of this unit is terrible
have a great day. Randy.. -
My wife is printing it right now. Thank you for all your kind help as im not that good with her laptop/printer....
-
you sure you want to vacuum? Maybe you'd rather blow the dust out?
-
Attachment not found.Vacuum lightly on back. Then wipe off---- i have canned air n other stuff for inside. Thanks for looking out--there is 10 years of dust. Looks very good though. Just got it and it needs help..
-
Those old Yamaha receivers just ooze class to me. I just love the look of the silver face with the wood cabinet.
-
Attachment not found.They sound very nice on vinyl to me also.....these are before and after pics. Started at 6:30 this morning. 10years of sitting in spare room from original owner not used....easy as pie job..
-
Attachment not found.After. As i was in there i detoxed everything to my best of knowledge..
-
Attachment not found.The front---now to do some intight cleaning. Getting there. Hope to hook it up later today

Looking good.

Holy crapola..hooked it up..oh my tons of clean power. Oh my what a nice cr1020 vintage stereo..it blows the doors off the 820....i have to say last year when i picked up the 620 i fell in love with the Yamaha cr model..its a different kind of sound than a Marantz or Sansui. Just plain old clean as heck sound. I am pleased fo have them. On tt its just down right beautiful to me..Mhardy & others thanks for all your help through my adventure with these....this is hooked to Klipsch temp right now--the 820 will be hooked to Polk 7's when they arrive this week. and the 620 is hooked to Polk 5jr's....the Yammys sound fine.....i hope in time to get the Polk 10's for the perfect vintage speaker for the cr1020 i just got. Thanks all ..

Now to track down the holy grail of the CR line...a 3020. Just thinking of it makes me sigh in lust."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."
"Unwad those panties and have a good time man. We're all here to help each other, no matter how it might appear." DSkip -
I've kind of resigned myself to be content with the 2020 - I've yet to see a 3020 in the flesh...

well - 160 wpc per se ain't even runnin' with the big dogs.
200 wpc
270 wpc
300 wpc
330 wpc
I'd still sell a kidney for a CR-3020 ;-) -

It was the '70s.
It was the drugs. -
-
That is sweeeeeetttt. Nice. You hit the jackpot. I love how clean the sound is. Im not a newer Yamaha stereo fan but the cr models are some sweet. Theres alot of people on here that have them. Some beautiful stereos i have to say
nice.. -
Hard to believe the 1020 would rehabilitate so easily. Sure looked nasty in there. You guys got some awesome toys.
-
Oh it still needs a bath for sure. I just did a quicky before it hits the tech..it was a mess...
-
I dunno - it's looking pretty good based on the photos!
So... I hope I am not being too much of a jerk by posting this! ;-)
I tried to snap some better photos yesteray - "better" of course being relative :-P -
I dont think you need the cr1000---- lol---- i really like that badass unit..
-
It's holdin' up that CR-620 ;-)
-
Question. Your opinion. Is the cr1000 built as good as the rest?..
-
It is better built than the CR-xx20 or CR-xx40 receivers; it has a very good tuner section (perhaps the best of all of the Yamaha receivers - with the possible exception of the 3020).
-
The tuners are pretty darn good on all these i think. IMO--- i love that unit. Probably more than alot of the big **** ones. Ive had big units.....hey i just snagged some monitor 10b's i should have them by friday. So i look forward to them......
-
Is the cr1000 the one you hit the tuner button and it goes to the next channel or something like that..
-
Nope.
-
I read something about that tuner but i cant remember right off hand. Something to do with pushing some button. I cant recall now. Getting old is setting in. Lol..
