    Default Fixer Upper Karma

    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.

    http://home.triad.rr.com/theshawsstuff/

    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!

    I'm a junkie for junk (sorry for the pun, it's not really junk) so I'm in. Might not be worth it to ship it though.
