Not a score but hopefully a good deal.

Carver 2000 receiver in fairly good shape. There a knob broken but I have most of the pieces. I may be able to glue them together.

Listened for a few minutes last night and thought 'Wow'.
Needs some cleaning with deoxit as some of the switches/pots are noisy.

Trying to track down a service manual and/or will consider sending it out for service.

I think my brother's going to like this when I'm done with it.

regards

Dave

    Ended up paying $150. Some fellow polkies were helpful with blue book and ebay prices. Talked to the seller for 1/2 hr and he seemed to be a nice guy so I'm taking a chance.

    From the 1/2 hr of listening time so far it sounds really nice. The bass from it is very well behaved, no sloppiness at all. I think I'm going to regret handing this over to him. :D
