Re: Onkyo TX-5000

The Tx-5000 is what got me started in the vintage hobby. I was hanging out with Pete and others at AR, and everyone was talking about yard-saling, etc. I decided to go out one Saturday morning, and at the last stop of a very dry day, I came upon a very grimy TX-5000. I think I paid 15 bucks!! I cleaned her up, plugged her in, and everything worked!! Did some a/b-ing against my newish NAD receiver, and decided I liked the Onkyo better. (Later sold the NAD when I picked a marantz 2285BD.) You are very right about the styling. What a great sounding unit, too, with very conservative wattage rating. ENJOY!!

PS I think I have a photocopy of the manual and some literature. Let me know if what you have for manuals, and maybe we can trade?? Otherwise, you can just pay postage for it.
