Refurbishing it would cost @ least as much as the asking price and perhaps double that (such is the cost/price of vintage).

I have had th top off of more than one Yamaha integrated. While I am a big Yamaha fan, they are a b_tch to get apart.

Buying local does add value as I can actually check the piece out in person and no shipping cost. I also have a diyer friend who is willing to check out the mechanical side of things. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm more familiar with the original CA-1000, but also listened to a CA-1010 (in the same complete Yamaha system) and other than the class A mode found the sound to be the same.
Class A sounded better (to me) with the later 1010 model.
I also liked the "usable" loudness contour.
Never heard either with CD, but other than phono experienced both with tape, so CD should be fine as well.
My friend, who owned the setup, listened to bad R&R recordings, but I used to bring over lighter classical and nice vocal LP's which I think he enjoyed (though he would never admit it - being a hardcore Southern Rocker).
I had a copy of a Chick Corea LP (not released in the USA @ the time & not certain why) which he did like, so I gifted it.
Think it was a 2-3 years before I was able to purchase another copy here.
Not a SS fan in general, but liked the different/clean/sparkly sound of the Yamaha.
