Yamaha A-1000's are our favorite vintage amps and this one was really cared for prior to our acquisition!

Warranty is only offered when the unit is purchased with the Aircom T10 cooler. Offers without it are welcome, but those units are sold as-is, with no warranty. This overrides any other warranty language in this listing.

Yamaha A-1000 Natural Sound Stereo Amplifier — Serviced, One Owner, with AC Infinity AIRCOM T10 Cooling (Demo unit)

The Yamaha A-1000 was the top integrated amplifier in Yamaha's Natural Sound line — 130 watts per channel of clean power, switchable Auto Class A operation, two phono inputs (MM and MC), and the black satin-anodized faceplate with the flip-down control door. Made in Japan, 1983.

Provenance: This is a one-owner amplifier. We bought it from the original owner, who purchased it new in California in 1983 and kept it its whole life.

What it needed: It came in with a leaking main filter capacitor and Yamaha's familiar brown factory glue on the capacitors — glue that turns caustic with age and had caused corrosion inside the unit.

What we did — fully serviced by Black Panel Audio:

• Main filter capacitor replaced with an in-spec replacement
• All caustic factory glue removed and every affected area cleaned
• Glue-caused corrosion fully repaired
• Affected wiring replaced
• Full bench check of all inputs and controls
• 24-hour continuous power test, passed

Bundled with cooling: This amplifier ships with an AC Infinity AIRCOM T10 (our demo unit) — the 17-inch top-exhaust cooling fan with LCD thermal controller shown in the photos, sitting on top of the amp. Auto Class A runs warm; the T10 keeps it cool and protects the service work for the long haul.

Included: Yamaha A-1000 amplifier (serial no. 05144), AC Infinity AIRCOM T10 cooling unit, power cables.

Cosmetically very clean for its age, with honest wear documented in the photos, including a scrape on the top cover (see the top-panel and rear photos).

Every Black Panel Audio component is cleaned, serviced, and bench-tested before it lists. 30-day returns.
