So a co-worker ushered me outside to take a look in her trunk (please refrain...), said her and the husband were doing some spring cleaning and thought I might find some use for an integrated stereo amp that was just taking up space in their attic. It's a Yamaha A-1020, and about the only info I've been able unearth is that it hails from the mid-80's and runs anywhere from 120 to 135 wpc. Anybody familiar with this piece of equipment?
I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

Not familiar with it, but I'd say that Yamaha amplification from the 80's is a lot more desirable than their current amplification.

I would agree on the older yamaha stuff. I had an integrated Yamaha Dolby Pro-logic A1000 that I purchased in 92'. It was only rated for 35W/ch but worked well powering reasonable surrounds. This was one of the first 7 channel prologic receivers and was very nice while I had it. I sold it on fleabay last fall.

That Yamaha is a nice unit, free or not. Screw the haters who don't know what they are talking about. Would benefit from a re-cap job of course but to get an amp of that quality today would cost close to $1K. It has the ability to run in true Class A and also has a nice MC Phono amp. Enjoy it.
