Been a while since ive done one so here we go.
I have a Carver HR-895 Receiver that powers up, but no sound. Been in the closet for 3 years and have done nothing with and seems as though im not going to. Could be a simple fuse or somthing else. Im not technical enough to tinker with it.
Best info i can find on the fly with pics. This puppy is heay too.

Rules.
You cant win this Karma and then sell it on Ebay. At least try and fix it or get it fixed and use it before you sell it. I know you wont get rich off it, but its not called Karma for nothing.
At least 50 posts or been a member for at least 6 months.
No time table. I'll wait a week or so everyone who might want to tinker with it gets a chance.
Reply with in or something to that effect!

you realize it's going to take a little more than a pick axe and a 20 lb sledgehammer right?

In please. But if I by some miracle win this karma I would like to re gift it to another polkie that is need of a decent receiver. and unlike most of us doesent have tons of excess gear laying around. Before you send it to me.
REGARDS SNOWWell, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all

I was wondering the same thing.....I am trying to build a stereo for the old man, and this would work nicely when repaired....

maybe something happened in his life or to him or he is just busy, just be patient I'm sure he will get around to it.
